Fang Jun's softly-lit landscapes and rich natural colours recall the grandeur of Southern Song Dynasty Paintings. He does not paint imagined scenes. Rather his work comes from memories of his hometown in Jiangsu province - a rustic China that is rapidly disappearing.... As art historian Lang Shaojun notes, Fang Jun's paintings "evoke a realm in which poetry functions like painting and painting like poetry." http://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2016/origo-collection-hk0684/lot.522.htm
