Artist Comments
Finely detailed chinaware lay in the center of artist Shuxing Fan's delicate still-life composition. Tangerines and dried flowers lay around it gracefully. He paints the setting as highly festive and enthusiastic. "The cup set on the brightest red square of the table cloth makes the scene like a holiday concert stage filled with musicians," says Shuxing.
About the Artist
Artist Shuxing Fan paints radiant classical scenes influenced by his formal college art training in the early 1970s. "My college study in theatrical set design was rigorously fine art oriented and heavily influenced by European and Russian educated mentors," says Shuxing. After finishing a BFA in Scene Design in Beijing, he moved to America and received his MFA from Boston University. With a career of over 35 years as a theatre set designer and scenic artist, his work has been seen on Broadway, on national TV, and at international conglomerates' events. Upon retirement, Shuxing took on the challenge to focus on painting again to fulfill his childhood dream. Today, he works from his basement studio which he finds to be a quiet, convenient, and creative working space. When he's not painting, he experiments with game engines to build virtual environments.
