Artist explores abstract concepts to create 3D sculptures
"I like to experiment with new ideas for my photos," adds Fu, who has a tight schedule of shows and art fairs, both at home and abroad.
He says audiences are always surprised when they find out that his pieces are photos as opposed to paintings.
"It's the idea and concept behind the images that matters," Fu repeated several times.
Although his work has a very Western style and aesthetic, Fu usually applies titles derived from poetic sentences or phrases from ancient Chinese poems, such as the Wind From Yesterday series and the Thought Reading series.
The artist likes reading books on culture, history and philosophy. He also loves traditional Chinese culture, which was influenced by his father's passion to ink paintings.
When he processes his photos on the computer, he often uses techniques that are frequently employed in traditional Chinese painting. On each of his photos, he stamps a seal engraved with his name in calligraphy, which is common to see in Chinese art.
