The magnanimous, profound and magnificent artistic taste and characteristics are particularly prominent in contemporary painting circles.

There are also works such as Approaching the Painter, A Course of Ink and Wash Figure Painting, Classic of China's Famous Paintings, and Collection of Peking Contemporary Excellent Works.
Painting style
Feng Yuan strengthened rational factors, especially those of philosophy, history and life, in his ink and wash creation, which made the weather and poetry, structure and language of his works even colder. Therefore, the artistic realm is full of philosophical enlightenment and rational interest, which has also become the aesthetic orientation of his works. However, the typology and conceptualization of pen and ink has always been the unchangeable drawback of China's ink painting for thousands of years, which fundamentally runs counter to the aesthetic characteristics of painting. Feng Yuan's ink painting art is based on overcoming this tendency.
Feng Yuan's Chinese paintings are mainly realistic and figurative. The characters in the works are accurate and vivid, the painting style is simple and vigorous, and the pen and ink are vigorous. He prefers the creation of historical themes and is good at creating a broad scene of the organization. Pay attention to the ideological connotation of the works, strive to convey the description of grand spirit, and also pay attention to the novelty and exquisiteness of artistic forms and languages. He also painted in a simple and abstract way, with the intention of absorbing and storing. I am diligent in writing in my spare time and keen to participate in the research of creative theory. Feng Yuan devoted himself to art, devoted himself to teaching, and strived to reach a corresponding maturity level in every style evolution in his creative research. Feng Yuan believes that the prospect of China's ink figure painting is limitless, but it still needs hard work to create a truly modern figure painting in China and keep a distance from traditional art and modern western art.
Artistic viewpoint
Feng Yuan believes that China can be said to have developing and shaping contemporary art, but there is no truly shaped, mature and successful contemporary art of its own. The "Zheng" here refers to the concept in the primary development stage, that is, in the late 1980s and 1990s, by imitating, learning, borrowing (including copying) western artistic concepts, languages, forms and materials, the modern western artistic concepts were combined with China cultural elements and China cultural symbols. As for learning and adopting some valuable things in western contemporary art, it is also of positive significance to realize that China's contemporary cultural concept, cultural connotation and cultural carrier will eventually be embodied, so as to innovate and develop contemporary art in China. In fact, it is also one of the feasible options. Since we are in the process of learning and development, it is inevitable to lack our own independent thinking and creativity at a certain stage. Young avant-garde artists, whether interested or not, are inevitably suspected of being "vassals" of others. However, Feng Yuan does not believe that a contemporary artist with ideals and ambitions is willing to be a "vassal", even if he is a "vassal" all his life. Over the past 30 years of reform and opening-up, a group of outstanding artists in China have been brave in innovation and change, and have achieved good results, which have promoted the emergence and progress of contemporary art in China, and some of them have even won recognition and praise from their western counterparts internationally. Of course, at this stage, the right to speak the rules of the game and the standards of values is in the hands of others, and even the concept of "avant-garde" is specially defined in the concept of curators in the East and the West. China's contemporary art is "thinking" and "creating" according to other people's rules and standards. Feng Yuan pointed out: One day, China's contemporary art can be judged by the common standards of China and international counterparts. Only in this way can China truly own its own contemporary art. ..
On painting
Feng Yuan believes that Chinese painting is an important artistic form of China culture and an artistic style with strong national characteristics. Chinese painting has a long history. Chinese civilization has never been interrupted, and the art of Chinese painting will have a long history. Different from the painting art in other countries, the cultural philosophy of Chinese painting itself is the harmony between man and nature, and it is the concept of "harmony between man and nature", which is completely consistent with the concept of "building a harmonious society and a harmonious world" put forward by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council.
Chinese painting observes the world in different ways. Chinese painting adheres to the cultural concept of "harmony between man and nature", inclines to heaven and earth, observes all things, freely expresses feelings, resorts to the image-building between wonder and emptiness with China's pen and ink materials, pursues the vivid charm and artistic style of the works, and achieves satisfaction (his meaning is presented) and understanding (the painter's intention is given to the audience, which can accept it) in the process of communication with the audience.
The second is to present the same world, the same theme and the same dream by using different artistic concepts, different color languages and different visual schemata. By connecting different graphics of 192 countries, it becomes a more spectacular picture of the United Nations, and its theme is easily accepted by audiences from all countries. Because the creation of Chinese painting is between right and wrong, it is not only different from the very fine and similar reproduction form of western classical painting, but also different from some abstract forms of western contemporary, so its unique form is easy for the audience and peers to understand.
Although the unique pen and ink language of Chinese painting is different from the color tonality of western painting, it is based on reality, realism and emptiness, that is, there is a boundary, not completely abstract; It is exactly the same as or similar to neo-realism, concrete expressionism, impressionism and even symbolism in western contemporary painting. It pays attention to painting, writing, artistic conception and symbolic meaning of works. So I think Chinese painting and western painting should belong to the high-end art of two different cultural systems. I believe that Chinese and foreign audiences should know fairly well and be able to distinguish good from bad.
Educational viewpoint
Feng Yuan believes that universities are the center of teaching, scientific research and talent training, and should uphold the academic spirit, conscience spirit and the spirit of helping the world, and play an important role in inheriting experience, researching new knowledge, creating achievements, advocating value and leading the society in today's era. The college can be conservative and insist on publicizing the core values of traditional culture; Be able to keep pace with the times and adjust the training objectives and professional quality of talent products in time; Colleges can also be very avant-garde. They study phenomena, put forward insights, form ideas and promote society. But one thing, colleges and universities should not passively follow the society and become the tail of drifting. So is the significance of the Academy of Fine Arts.
Feng Yuan also believes that the significance of teaching lies in imparting infinite knowledge and skills to students in a limited time through a reasonable and orderly and effective combination of content structures, and cultivating students' practical ability to solve problems initially. Professional skills, systematic knowledge, regular teaching, standardized teaching materials, step by step. College teaching teaches students basic methods. University study is not about what skills students have mastered, but what qualities and talents they have become. An artist has a long way to go before he graduates from college and becomes a talent. Learning, practice, research and creation all need his life's investment, but in fact, those artists who really become everyone do not rely entirely on their study efforts. In the history of China, self-study, mentoring, university and career change are outstanding. Since the impressionism in modern western history, many great painters have not been from college, so what is the significance of college? Can art still be taught? Colleges are needed, because society has corresponding needs, and academics can still be taught. Teach what? Teach the basic rules. Any special talent is created by special experiences and methods different from ordinary people. Art advocates uniqueness, which is the common goal of any artistic creator, and no one will be satisfied with similarity.
Auction of works
Collection value
Feng Yuan's works are of high artistic value and have always been valued by the market. Judging from Feng Yuan's auction records, not only the number of works participating in the auction has risen sharply, but also the transaction volume remains high and the auction price has been rising. According to industry analysis, compared with Feng Yuan's artistic value and comprehensive ability, the market price of his works is lower and there is a lot of room for appreciation. Feng Yuan is one of the representatives of the second generation painters in New China after Xu Beihong, Li Keran and Lu. Xu Beihong's masterpieces have already sold for hundreds of thousands, millions or even tens of millions. Compared with them, Feng Yuan's works will have a huge appreciation space in the near future. In addition, it is worth noting that Feng Yuan has never participated in commercial speculation. Therefore, the auction price of his works is a spontaneous market behavior with high gold content. Judging from the auction quantity, transaction ratio and rising auction price of his works, collectors have realized the great appreciation potential of Feng Yuan's works and turned their attention to Feng Yuan's fine works. Therefore, insiders suggest that collectors and art investors should seize the favorable opportunity of low prices of Feng Yuan's works in time to collect Feng Yuan's fine works.
The average price of 200 1 autumn auction is 3236 yuan/square foot, the average price of autumn auction in 2002 is 4337 yuan/square foot, and the average price of spring auction in 2004 is 103 14 yuan/square foot. The auction price fluctuates, showing an overall upward trend, and the transaction rate is very high, almost 100%.

Exhibition of works
Exhibition for students in 2009
On June 3rd, 2009, 65438+February 3rd, 2009, China Contemporary Ink and Wash Figures Exhibition was held in China Art Museum. A person's name appeared in the full name of the exhibition: Feng Yuan. As the vice chairman of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, this exhibition is his graduation exhibition for eight students. These students themselves are professors in art departments of various universities.
These eight students are called "Eight donkey kong". Headed by Li Yeqing, assistant to the studio, he is also a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts of Hubei Normal University. He is usually called "monitor". His works take urban migrant workers as the theme, draw nutrition from modernist novels, murals and modernist works of art, and form a multi-directional narrative structure with the mutual infiltration, collage and superposition of various images and actions of migrant workers.
Kun Li is a professor at Art College of Hainan University. He likes to paint folk themes. Eight Hammers of Peking Opera, Farewell My Concubine, and Dongpo Idle Pictures take folk customs and operas as the main themes, and create a world full of traditional interests with line modeling.
Kelly, a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts of Capital Normal University, is partial to ordinary people, focusing on expressing their commonness and happiness.
Zou, an artist in the literary workshop of the Political Department of the Navy, is a national first-class artist. He likes to draw men and has made great efforts to create portraits of modern military crowds.
Before becoming a student, Tan Nailin was the director of the creative department of Qingdao Painting Academy and the vice chairman of Qingdao Artists Association. He has a skill, that is, the more people in the picture, the more he can control the situation and the more handy he is. The vivid and rich group images of characters in the real society, all kinds of people full of life breath and so on. Don't narrow the position of people in daily life scenes and special contexts.
Fan Zhibin, a student from "Northern China", works as a lecturer in the Fine Arts Department of the School of Art and Media of Beijing Normal University, and his focus has shifted to the creative mode of figurative expressionism.
Yang Xiaogang is the youngest painter in the studio. In his work "Millennium Antique", he integrated the traditional water method into his creation, and made the water transparent, smooth and full of beauty through extremely controlled methods.
Compared with Yang Xiaogang's lightness and lyricism, the characters in Li Lianzhi's works are bitter and heavy. Quiet sky, flowing white clouds, standing mountains, solid land, and people standing between heaven and earth all convey a tenacious character and a tenacious sense of life to the viewers of Paradise series.
The eight students brought out by a gentleman have different or even similar styles. We can't even see a similar style. "This is the most successful and moving place of Feng Yuan's teaching. He always guards the students' personality and imagination carefully, lest they become copies of teachers. Zhang Xiaoling, a critic, said admiringly, "I hope these people can become a driving force under the current situation that figure painting in China is relatively weak. "
20 13 solo exhibition
On April, 2065438 165438, Feng Yuan, Vice Chairman of China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and a famous painter, held an exhibition of Feng Yuan's Chinese paintings at Zhejiang Art Museum in Hangzhou.

He claimed to be "a phased summary of creative research".
