Han Feng does not talk much. But I always remember one thing he said to me, actually, I can paint anything.
This statement sounded insouciant at first place. However, once you have seen his work, and thought about it, you may wonder maybe he can also paint nothing in the future.
To say this, only because that I have seen the "emptiness" in Hang Feng's work. The best interpretation of emptiness exists in the Heart Sutra, "Form is not other than emptiness, Emptiness is not other than form." Han Feng does not talk too much about Buddhism or Taoism, nor is he a "free and easy" person in real life, we surprisingly found the "emptiness" in his work.
In his work, Han Feng uses "emptiness" to express his comprehensive of Zen and His neglect of the reality.
In the spiritual world, Han Feng is a "metaphysical" person; in the real world, he has to live "physically". This contradictory is not easy to live with; yet it relieves him from being entangled with the inquiry, "to paint what and how to paint" that all artists have to face. The "emptiness" in his mental space has brought his work into a realm that we can hardly reach.
