Yang Fuxu belongs to the new generation of oil painters who grew up in Shenzhen after 2010. Shenzhen, the pioneering city of China\u2019s Reform and Opening-Up, has attracted waves of young talents and artists since the 1980s\u2014people who arrived with dreams, ideas, and a desire to reshape their futures through art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the early years, Shenzhen artists focused heavily on scenes of the Special Economic Zone\u2019s rapid development. Construction workers, migrant laborers, and the everyday struggles of people building a new city became the most common subjects. These works captured the hardship, hope, and longing for a better life in this young land of opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the 1990s, artistic themes began to shift. Shenzhen painters started to explore the city\u2019s emerging cultural identity, modern lifestyle, and evolving social values.
After 2010, a new generation of artists\u2014those who truly grew up<\/em> in Shenzhen\u2014began expressing a different perspective. Their work no longer looked only at the city\u2019s physical growth, but focused on inner life, personal feelings, and a more poetic interpretation of urban experience. Yang Fuxu is one of the most outstanding representatives of this generation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Born in Qinzhou, Guangxi, Yang showed a passion for painting from a young age. He graduated from Guangxi Arts Institute in 1998, and later furthered his studies at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2008. He moved to Dafen Village in the late 1990s to pursue painting as a full-time profession.
On paper, his artistic path may seem steady and modest, but meeting him in person quickly changes that perception. Despite his humble and gentle appearance, his early works already revealed a vivid imagination and emotional sensitivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the late 1990s, his paintings of fish and landscapes displayed an instinctive grasp of color, composition, and expressive form\u2014qualities that already set him apart from many of his peers. Around 2010, he began developing what would become a defining series in his career: oil paintings centered on trees<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
