Screen print, printed on 490 gram smooth custom paper

Feng Zhengjie’s Chinese Portrait (a) is a bold screen-print that encapsulates his iconic style, using neon colors and surreal features to explore themes of identity and modern beauty standards. This portrait features a stylized woman with vibrant red hair and striking red lips, set against a contrasting dark background with a radiant neon aura around her. Her pale face and slightly unfocused gaze impart a sense of detachment and mystery, emphasizing an almost alien quality. Feng’s use of exaggerated, vivid colors and smooth, graphic lines invokes pop-art aesthetics while critiquing societal ideals of beauty in contemporary Chinese culture. Limited to an edition of 200, Chinese Portrait (a) invites viewers to question the superficiality of visual representation and the impact of beauty ideals.

Feng Zhengjie (China, 1968) is a contemporary artist best known for his vibrant, larger-than-life portraits that critique consumer culture and societal ideals. His Chinese Portrait series features stylized figures with vivid colors and vacant stares, reflecting a blend of traditional Chinese aesthetics and pop art. Feng's work explores identity in an era of globalization.

Beauty has become a commodity—my paintings highlight the distance between real emotion and the glossy images we consume.
- Feng Zhengjie

Feng Zhengjie (b. 1968, China) is a contemporary Chinese artist known for his vibrant and surreal pop art paintings that explore the complexities of modern consumer culture and identity. His work is most recognizable for its vivid depictions of idealized female faces, often rendered in exaggerated, hyper-saturated colors with a particular emphasis on red and green hues. These striking portraits, which blend traditional Chinese aesthetics with Western pop art influences, critique the commercialization of beauty and the pervasive influence of mass media. Feng's paintings often evoke a sense of detachment and artificiality, highlighting the superficiality of modern life and the pressures of conformity. His work has gained international attention, with exhibitions in major art capitals like New York, Paris, and Beijing, establishing him as a significant figure in the global contemporary art scene.

What is new figuration?

Neo-Figurative Art is a collective term that refers to the revival of figurative art in America and Europe during the 1960s, following a period dominated by abstraction. Michel Ragon, a French art critic, argued that this resurgence of figuration occurred during a critical time of social and political upheaval in both regions.
