Personal Profile
Feng Xiaoying, master of Jiaoyu Pavilion, is from Fu'an City, Fujian Province. He is currently a painter in the Master Studio of the China National Academy of Painting, a specially appointed painter at the Training Center of the China Artists Association, a member of the Fujian Branch of the China Artists Association, a painter at the Mindong Painting Academy, and Deputy Director-General of the Zhongyi Fujian Calligraphy and Painting Academy, as well as Chairman of the Fu'an City Staff Calligraphy and Painting Association. In 1980, he began studying painting under Mr. Wang Hui, a distinguished student of the master ink painter Liu Haisu and Pan Tianshou. In 2008, he furthered his studies at the Advanced Research Class of the China Artists Association’s Chinese Painting Department, receiving direct instruction from renowned artists such as Huo Chunyang, Lü Yunsuo, and Guo Shifu.
In 2012, he entered the Master Studio of Lin Rongsheng at the China National Academy of Painting for advanced study. His works have been exhibited numerous times in domestic and international art exhibitions. He strives to capture the grandeur and profundity of nature. His style is rigorous and solemn, yet fresh and elegant. His works have been collected by numerous art institutions both at home and abroad, and have been featured in publications such as China Calligraphy and Painting Daily, Art Daily, Contemporary Art, and Art Dialogue. Vast mountains bathed in verdant and azure hues unfold on paper, their color layers interweaving and reflecting to create a fresh, serene spatial atmosphere. His increasingly mature style of green-and-blue landscape painting stems from his 2012 study under Master Lin Rongsheng at the China National Academy of Painting. During his time studying with Master Lin Rongsheng, he devoted himself to plein air sketching, immersing himself in the natural landscape, employing either expressive brushwork or vivid coloring as a gateway to explore the interplay between pictorial space and the artist’s inner emotional resonance. In his bird-and-flower compositions, he draws inspiration from the visual language of the “Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou.” He quotes a painting inscription by Li Fangying to express the joy and freedom he feels when painting plum blossoms: “Ink flows fresh upon paper, a few plum blossoms most delightful; may the heavenly winds carry them far, so that every home and lane blossoms with spring.”
Bird-and-flower painting is a genre Feng Xiaoying loves and excels in. His bird-and-flower style is ancient and simple, with balanced forms and refined, delicate coloring. His foundation in bird-and-flower painting began under the tutelage of Mr. Wang Hui, whose influence led him to embrace the bold ink-wash technique of freehand expression—a path that later guided him to seek mentorship from renowned Tianjin ink painters Tianjin masters Huo Chunyang, Lü Yunsuo, and Guo Shifu.
In his plum blossom paintings, his brushwork is strong and decisive, the branches solid and upright; the blossoms, painted with varying degrees of dry and wet ink, are arranged with perfect balance and composure, endowing his freehand plums with a tranquil, refined, and unsullied elegance. The Sixth China (Fujian, Fu’an) “Tao Yuan Chun Xiao” Calligraphy, Painting, and Music Art Exhibition opened at the Hutou She Cultural Center, where a dozen ceramic works (peach blossom series) with diverse forms attracted considerable attention. These new pieces were specially created by Professor Feng Xiaoying during a dedicated trip to Jingdezhen for this peach blossom festival, depicting peach blossoms with a lustrous, translucent glaze that radiates vibrant hues—evoking the pure realm of “a profusion of tender reds, countless branches ablaze in spring’s glow.”
