Mio Pang Fei 繆鵬飛 (1936–2020) was a painter and the founder of the Neo-Orientalism Art Movement.[1]
Artistic legacy
Mio Pang Fei dedicated his life to interlink and merge the east and the west in artistic and cultural terms, giving birth to his Neo-Orientalism school, an hybrid of oriental and western art with abstractionism at its core and with the aim to reinvent oriental art utilizing western concepts, media and techniques.[2] Namely, Mio managed to display tradicional Chinese themes and ancient stories with western contemporary media and artistic materials.[3]
Mio's work, "grandiose, strong, dramatic, and anti-decorative",[4] is considered to be a "deliberate move to cultural encounter", of the east meeting the west.[5]
Mio is also considered to be "the most important of the middle generation of “installation artists" in China".[3]
