Original Chinese Contemporary Art Acrylic on Canvas "May Chen" Hei Feng 2005 Hei Feng started painting when he was merely 5 years old, as a student of the Classical Chinese Style. He soon began to infuse his own signature into his works. The artistic community first took note in 1985 during an exhibit in Beijing. The "Black Wind (Hei Feng) Style", with its successful fusion of Eastern and Western ideas, caused quite a stir. The exhibit became the debut of the first enfant terrible in China.After a successful beginning of a promising career in China, Hei Feng took part in the pro-democracy movement in 1989. After being wounded by a bullet in Tiananmen square, and eluding the police and the military, Hei Feng found freedom in America by way of Hong Kong."Art is, first and foremost, a spiritual experience, both for the artist and his audience. When it reaches its summit in its maturity, it is no longer Eastern or Western. The best term for it is spiritual aestheticism. It is about technique. It is about style. But above all, it is about spirituality and vision."
