William Fang, born in Hangzhou city, Zhejiang Province, was fond of painting at an early age under the influence of Lu Weizhao, a famous calligrapher and painter of China, and received professional education on western arts in University of Wisconsin in the 1980s.
Inspired by Pointillism of Georges Seurat, William created Random Lines Paintings on the basis of traditional Chinese painting, which gained high evaluation from Chinese and foreigners.

方免衰(William Fang)先生,出生于中國杭州,年輕時受著名書畫家陸維釗影響,研習(xí)東方繪畫。20世紀(jì)80年代初在美國威斯康辛大學(xué)接受西方美術(shù)教育。
受歐洲印象主義大師修拉“點(diǎn)彩派”的啟發(fā),在深厚的中國傳統(tǒng)繪畫的基礎(chǔ)上,他創(chuàng)造了“亂線畫”(Random Lines Painting)。以中國畫的靈魂線條為核心,隨意涂寫,利用彩色線條的縱橫交錯表現(xiàn)來營造形象,近看抽象,遠(yuǎn)看具象,以東方的線條尋求西方繪畫的效果。宣紙、水墨和丙烯是他的繪畫材料,“從無序到有序”是他的繪畫哲學(xué)。
方免衰先生亂線畫作品曾多次在美國、加拿大、歐洲、亞洲等國家和地區(qū)展出,已建立了世界性的名望,許多個人和組織,包括美國幾位總統(tǒng)及著名收藏家都收藏了他的作品。方免衰亂線畫正形成新的“流派”,受到中外各界人士的高度評價和喜愛。
