Chinese Folk Art is a term used to describe a genre of painting done by Chinese peasants/ farmers that received no proper training in art but nevertheless like to paint in their freetime. Using acrylic, pastel or poster colour, they invariably like to depict countryside scenes, eulogising farm life with vivid and primary colours.

Long Fei is of course not a farmer or peasant, nor is he self-taught. Having graduated from GuangZhou Academy of Art in year 2000, he is well-versed in folk culture hence embarked on infusing these elements into his painting. But unlike the typical Folk Art which concentrate on farmers/peasants, he has chosen a well-educated, sophisticated city girl who has gone back to her hometown somewhere in the south of China. They lady/ladies he depict(s) is/are alwyas well coiffeured, replete in her/their Cheongsam(s) or period costume(s), justaposed against some rural setting, or casted in a traditional but opulent home reminiscent of the wealthy families of bygone times. As contradictory as it may seem, this paradoxical scene is actually happening all over China these days, heightening th edichotomy of what is ancient and traditional agianst what is new and modern.
