An Artist Between Two Worlds

Known for blending elements of eastern religion, science, and pop-culture, Fansack is one of China’s most prolific and recognizable urban artists.

As an early pioneer of graffiti art in China in the early 2000s and a former apprentice to legendary Paris-based painter Cyril Kongo, Fansack has recently returned to his studio in Paris, where he first conceived of the concept for Parinirvana in 2015.

A Spiritual Journey of Creation in Tibet

From the most remote and holy temples of Tibet to the cosmopolitan streets of his Paris studio, the work of Fansack provides a bridge between cultures and belief systems around the world, and aspires to bring beauty and joy into this earthly plane.

NFT details

Traditionally, a “Lying Buddha” has come to symbolize Buddha as he was on his deathbed, enlightened and ready to enter the highest state of nirvana (Sanskrit: parinirvāṇa). And yet, the teachings of Buddha also show us that life is an illusion. By interpreting this through his artwork, Fansack aims to show how death is but a dream, and by changing our perception, we can change our lived reality. This is marked through the various people and characters who pay homage to the Lying Buddha on his deathbed, each of whom has chosen their own path toward Parinirvana while still alive. It doesn’t matter who you are (artist, designer, musician, scientist, etc) or the tools you use to get there (VR headset?), parinirvana waits for those who strive.

Seeking Enlightenment
A State of Spiritual Flux

By deconstructing and reassembling a colorful cast of characters, plants, and animals from the pages of Eastern mysticism and blending them with symbolism and imagery typically found in modern street culture and fashion, Fansack creates a reality of his own and invites audiences to share it with him.

A Fusion of Concepts

In blending contemporary Pop and Urban Art aesthetics with more ancient oriental sensibilities, the result is a rich and deeply layered universe that is both simultaneously Zen and in a constant state of spiritual conflict.

Born in 1988, Pang Fan (aka Fansack) is one of China’s most prolific and recognizable urban artists. As a pioneer of graffiti art in China since the early 2000s and a former apprentice to legendary Paris-based painter Cyril Kongo, Pang Fan eventually earned an undergraduate degree in Visual Arts from the University of Marseilles (2008) and a masters of Fine Arts from Sorbonne University. Through his use of canvas, murals, installations, and other methods, Pang Fan’s work has always focused on elements of Eastern and Western philosophy, religion, and science. Yet, by deconstructing and reassembling a colorful cast of characters, plants, and animals from the pages of Eastern mysticism and fusing them with symbolism and imagery typically found in modern street culture and fashion, Pang Fan’s work is able to blend contemporary Pop and Urban Art aesthetics with more ancient oriental sensibilities. The final product is a rich and deeply layered universe that is both simultaneously Zen and in a constant state of spiritual and materialistic conflict.

To date, Pang Fan’s works have been collected by various domestic and foreign institutions, including the Musee en Herbe (France), Yanlord Land (China), the Pearl Art Museum (Shanghai), and the Swire Group (Hong Kong). In 2014, Fansack had the great honor of being the only Chinese artist chosen to display his work in the Paris Dali Museum as part of the exhibition Dali Fait le Mur.
