"Tears of Maple Leaves - 2003, oil on canvas, 92 x 102 cm. Unlike other artists, Chun Fan's paintings are mainly based on sketches, with the emotions arising from the scene being supplemented by the process of refining and forging. What is meant by "touching the scene" and "arousing emotions" is to fuse my emotions with your intentions and interact with the viewer's soul. "Maple tears" is a classic example of this style, completed during a study trip to Canada. It is early autumn, and the author is in a foreign land, seeing no huts and fences of their homeland, only falling maple leaves and cold wind. Reflecting on their life and fate, they lament that no matter how tall a tree grows, its leaves will eventually return to the roots. Where are their old friends and acquaintances from their homeland now? They have turned into teardrops of homesickness. ——Foreign Maple Leaf Emotions and Homeland Tears

"The Wind Blows" - 2022, Colored Ink, 69 x 69 cm. "The wildfire cannot burn it all, as the spring breeze brings forth life." In Bai Juyi's simple and unadorned style, his concise and succinct words depict the resilience of life. Similarly, the artist Chun Fan portrays this concept. In the painting, withered grass and yellow leaves appear lifeless after being consumed by fierce flames. However, they are unable to prevent the wild and unstoppable force of nature. Beneath the withered branches lies a network deeply rooted in the soil, waiting for the nourishment of spring breezes and refreshing rains to bring forth new growth and rejuvenation.
