“Scented Seasons” is the solo exhibition of the artist Leng Hong. Leng Hong’s works are masterful oils, paintings thickened with marble impasto for depth, his subject matter tracing back to the Tang and Song Dynasties. His dialog is poetic, his colours tertiary, and the ancient history he references is ingeniously counter-balanced with an Expressionist treatment of distortion and composition.

The strong influence of European Expressionism and Cubism is prevalent throughout his works. His pieces become a mélange of romantic images, up to a dozen scenes all masterly fused onto a single flat tableau. Leng Hong compliments his use of single plane distortion with chiaroscuro, creating depth with plays of light and shadow.

We are honored to present Leng Hong’s solo show, Scented Seasons. He is one of the finest oil painters of Modern 20th Century China, who emerged as a leading artist of the 1980’s New Wave Art Movement. Leng Hong is, then as now, an experienced master.
