48 years old Chinese artist FANG Hui is exhibiting his works from Blossom series in Wellington Gallery. The exhibition documented the progress of the artist from 2007 – 2013, from the use of color, composition, brushstroke and maturity; we witnessed FANG blossom out into one of the most influential artist in Beijing. FANG’s paintings stood out with quiet solitude, in that they are more of reflections of his inner being, in the mist of the frantic proliferation of Chinese creative circle and its ever-increasing population of followers and amongst the many new works with political statements and under influence of western popular cultures. Paintings by FANG are clearly identifiable, aside from the characteristic composition, colour and subjects, there are added effect of relief. Subtle spatial perspective and muted contrast of lighting and shadings were deployed and often accompanied by the instilled tranquility. His works morphed over the years with maturation of his favorite subject: Children possessing a timeless quality and an air of reminiscence. However, the children depicted in FANG's paintings does not possess any heightened poetic emotion, instead tended to exist in a state of muted contemplation or in the midst of some quiet sorrow. These children, showing no expectant or optimistic expressions about their future, in essence become the vectors of FANG's own lingering memory of growing pain. This air of reminiscence glosses his paintings with a sense of calm, and quiet serenity. Many of the faces of the children are blue, a favorite colour of FANG, nicknamed the 'Violet Killer' by his teaches and classmates for his obsession of painting blue violets in scenery sketches in his youth. Believing in the innate reminiscing property of blue he experimented with various shades, to express calm and melancholy, and FANG has become a master painter in using blue to strike a chord with his viewers.
