Fu Wenjun was the only Chinese artist shown at International Art Fair Warsaw 2016. It was also the first time for the artist to present his conceptual photography works in Poland. For this especially meaningful occasion, Fu selected some artworks with featured Chinese cultural and philosophic elements, which are presented with imaginary forms and colours. He says, "In my works, I express with something which seems to belong to one culture and society, but the philosophy behind these forms, colours, figures is to present something in common in our globalizing world. In the process of globalization, the communication and the fusion of different cultures is an inevitable process. In my works, you can find something Eastern, but at the same time something Western, something with which you are familiar and something strange to you, but they all can coexist in a harmonious and beautiful way. Everyone from different parts of the world can understand my identical conceptual photography work, but just in a different way. All understanding is acceptable."
Regarding the artistic creation thinking, Fu Wenjun is concerned most about culture issues. He thinks the culture is directly related to human beings and the times; no matter the classic culture or the present culture, only they relate to us; they are worthy of our profound study. He has also clearly realized that all history in the world developing to the present time is a global process lasting hundreds of years. In this process, the cultures are enormously influenced, because no one has a stable formality, each one is under reconstruction by the interaction with the others.
Fu Wenjun was born in Chongqing (China) in 1955. He graduated from Sichuan Fine Arts Institute and currently works on conceptual photography, installation and oil painting. Now he lives and works at Chongqing, China. He was awarded 1st prize in digital art from the 2nd International Biennial of Contemporary Art in Argentina, Tour Eiffel La Grande Exposition Universelle's "The Best Artist in the World", the International Award "Lorenzo il Magnifico" of X Florence Biennale and other international art honors. His artworks are collected by Today Art Museum, Old Summer Palace Museum, Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, Dubai Community Theatre and Arts Center, the Kennedy Family, World Council of Peoples for the United Nations, Dazu Grotto Museum, Chongqing Art Museum, Guangdong Museum of Art and other significant organizations and collectors.
