The Gold of the Tigers is the first individual exhibition of Feng Ye at Asia Art Center (Beijing) comprising more than 20 oil paintings, mysterious and distant. With a pure heart, he believes that the strength of beauty can remove the dust of the soul and the world, so as to find a quiet and pure land. In addition, it can bring people an opportunity to have a rest or beautiful scenery when people are lost in the ordinary and tedious circumstance.

Feng Ye was born in Liaoning in 1974 and graduated as a postgraduate from Luxun Academy of Fine Arts in 2006. He loves painting and poetry as well as all matters related to beauty. He puts his understandings on “beauty” into the paintings. Every time when looking at his mysterious paintings, we seem to immerse ourselves into the Garden of Eden of poetry: the emerald green blends into acid blue, the cold grey mixes with dark brown, and the skills are adept, natural and smooth. The horses in the pictures always look into the distance, being noble and quiet; the knights are lying on the grass quietly and the colors like polar lights are twinkling in the ground line…He communicates with the society through painting. Although it is not an era when every one has his belief, in Feng Ye’s world, his belief is art and beauty. The balance and coordination, color and layout and poetry transferred in his pictures can be used in the aesthetic category. Also, it is a kind of thinking way with some craziness and persistence. It is his limited and harsh skills that Feng Ye employs to create the mystery in the pictures. It is just the temperament that enables the audience to be attracted by his values willingly.
