Leng Hong's paintings involve landscapes, still life, and a series of poetic figures from antiquity. The production of his paintings, emphasizing thick textures, presents a mottled and antique mural effect, and the superposition of materials corresponds to the accumulation of history, Leng Hong shows us a level of cultural history. The extensive use of materials, his excellent painting skills, and his mastery allow us to follow him freely through the colorful gardens.

"The artists' unremitting pursuit and experience on the path of art have brought them to the same end and reach the same realm. As far as I am concerned, art has no borders, no past or present" - Leng Hong
