Feng Xiao-Min is a compelling voice in the global art world, uniquely positioned at the crossroads of East and West. Born in Shanghai in 1959, he was classically trained at the Fine Arts Academy in China before relocating to France in 1988 to study at the prestigious École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. His journey from student to professor at the same institution reflects not only his artistic mastery but also his influence in shaping contemporary dialogue between cultural traditions. Today, he lives and works in Paris, producing meditative abstract works that draw from Chinese calligraphy while resonating with Western minimalism and lyrical abstraction.
“Composition N°15.12.16” embodies Feng’s mature style—a harmonious blend of intuitive color, controlled fluidity, and spatial resonance. Painted in 2016, the work is executed in acrylic on canvas at a commanding scale of 97 x 130 cm, and radiates the emotional serenity for which Feng is known. The absence of narrative invites the viewer to contemplate rather than consume, making his work deeply relevant in a fast-paced, image-saturated world.
Feng’s ability to bridge philosophical and aesthetic traditions has earned him global recognition, including commissions for the BRICS summit and representation in prominent public and private collections. His paintings are increasingly sought after for their emotional depth and cultural nuance—appealing to institutions, seasoned collectors, and those newly drawn to contemporary Chinese abstraction. Investing in this piece is not just a financial choice—it is a stake in timeless beauty and cultural continuity.
A museum-grade work from a cross-cultural master, priced at a rare discount. With 4-year upside potential, deep institutional roots, and strong emotional resonance, Composition N°15.12.16 blends artistic permanence with financial intelligence.
