PANG JIUN (PANG JUN, CHINA, B. 1936)

“It is the basis for a painter to understand nature and human nature thoroughly, and to sketch incessantly. From the accumulation of sketching experiences, the painter is able to learn to grasp the techniques and ways of expression of oil painting, to merge them with personal inspiration, mood, character, and cultural tradition, and to express them in a brand new, personal style. Whether his/her work is realist, abstract, semi-abstract, mixed media, constructivist, or conceptual, it must be elevated to an aesthetic height that is extraordinary enough to move people's minds.” - Pang Jiun
