New book reviews artist's exploration with oil painting

Pang inherited from his parents a passion for art and freedom. And he experimented further to build a palette of Eastern elegance and poetry.

Pang says his practice and knowledge of art originates from the extensive land of his homeland: He was born in Shanghai, lived in Beijing for years before moving to Hong Kong in 1980 and then Taipei in 1987.

"Above all, it (my art) is rooted in the inexhaustible Chinese culture of thousands of years."
