Everytime I draw and paint, I am in another world.
Because of Appledore, I pick up my sketch book, drawing pens, paint brushes and all other materials I can get my hands on again. I start making arts after a long break!
My first visit England was in the summer 1998. As part of that trip, I came down to the West Country and was drawn by the landscape, quality of light, architecture and history of that part of the world. My work includes pen and ink, silkscreen printing, digital print, watercolour, oil, acrylics, mixed media on rice paper, paper, board, cardboard and canvas. My inspiration is viewing England through an oriental eye and applying traditional Chinese techniques to present a unique view of England’s architecture and her beauty.
Fu loved to draw and paint when he was a kid. He received his first painting award in primary school when he was 12; though that drawing was drawn with the help of his brother! He dreams of living in a farm house near the sea. By the way, he has put on weight and he blames the English food.

Doodles & Sketches
Whenever I come across some drawing materials, I cannot resist the urge to create doodles and sketches. It is a spontaneous outlet for my creativity, allowing my mind to wander as I put pencil to paper. Even though they may not always result in a masterpiece, the joy of creating something unique is what matters most. It's a simple pleasure that adds a touch of creativity to my day.
Artists often delve into diverse subjects through their unique perspectives, employing a range of media to express their interpretations. Whether it’s the beauty of nature captured in paint, the complexities of urban life conveyed through photography, or the emotions stirred by sculptural installations, each medium offers a distinct avenue for exploration.
