" Fan, who has a lifelong interest in Western styles of painting, began introducing Western techniques
into his work in the mid 1980s. He confesses that Monet is his favourite Western Artist, although he has
found inspiration in the work of many of the Impressionists and Post Impressionists. Their way of seeing the
world, Fan says, dovetails with his own distinctly Chinese approach....Fan succeeds in instilling this
Chinese sense of spirituality and philosophical content into each of his nontraditional paintings."
Extract from "Reverie & Reflections: The New Impressionism", 1991.
A versatile man with many creative interests, Fan has traveled extensively in China and recorded his experiences in a series of
travel pieces for newspapers and magazines. This spring, he spent four weeks traveling, drawing and gathering impressions.
He visited Yangzhou, Nanjing, Zhenjiang, Suzhou and Xian. What Fan saw in these historic places inspired him to create the sensory
delights, the rapture and romance, and the delicious colors of the more than thirty painting in his current exhibition.
