Feng Aidong was born in China in 1953. He has become world-famous for his stylized landscapes, primarily depicting scenes of village life done in the colorful, flat style associated with Chinese “peasant” or “farmer paintings.” Feng worked as a farmer through his early life, along with studying painting with Zhang Weimin, the Director of the Gongbi Painting Study at Zhejiang Art Academy. Feng has won many provincial and national awards and is included in many collections, including the British Museum, the Art Museum of China, and the China Folk Art Museum. Feng is also a member of the Tianjin Artists Association, Tianjin Literature and Art Association, and the Tianjin Youth Artists Association. His paintings have appeared in publications such as the People’s Daily, Chinese Art Magazine, the Beijing Review, and Farmers Illustrated. In addition to painting, Feng Aidong also actively participates in social welfare activities, focusing his philanthropy on students and poorer individuals with intellectual disabilities, as well as providing funding to buy materials and art supplies for teachers. He also teaches peasant painting, touring throughout China offering lessons yearly, and was invited to the United States to do the same for the first time in the 2010s.
