A natural talent

As viewers navigate Fu's other works on show, they will find that a transition in the composition is evident. The artist gradually reduces details to employ a semiabstract style, and the primitive atmosphere in his earlier works gives away to a more experimental, contemporary tendency in his later works.

But no matter which direction he ventures toward, Fu spares no effort in showcasing his passion for Tantou colored woodblock pictures, an intangible cultural heritage, which once thrived in Tantou, Hunan, reputed for a vibrant palette, lively details and wild imagination.

Fu adopts the woodblock techniques and uses the distinctive materials produced at woodblock workshops in Tantou to create his prints. He is also considered a cultural ambassador of Tantou art.
