In the twenty-odd years of his artistic life, Sheng-yang Cheng has graced the canvas with beautiful scenes of the fishing harbor and old houses from his hometown,or daily activities of local people,all painted with the utmost compassion. Cheng's early works were much influenced by Cubism;in recent years ,the artist has taken a turn to a more simple style which reflects his lyrical and liberated state of mind.
