A Fair Land This Is, a third retrospective, currently underway at the Zhejiang Art Museum in Hangzhou, and which runs through Nov 11, focuses on the emotional connection between Feng and his second hometown in eastern China where the exhibition is being held. Feng attended a normal school in Hangzhou, not far from his native town of Tongxiang. Hangzhou's landscape and leisurely pace of life helped shape the lighthearted tone in his paintings.
Another ongoing exhibition, Human Comedies, at the National Art Museum of China in Beijing through Nov 4, presents an uncommon juxtaposition of three painting albums－Big Tree, Saving Lives and Paintings for Engou－each from a different collector, but which contribute significantly to a thorough understanding of Feng's views of the world.
The series' last show, Tongxiang My Love, will open to the public on Nov 9.
In 2012, an exhibition of his works occupied four floors of the Hong Kong Museum of Art.
