Description:
This episode of UN Connect explores the life and work of Chinese artist Feung Zeng, tracing his evolution from celebrated ink painter to spiritual retreatant and cultural philosopher. Hosts Lynn and Michael examine how Feung’s artistic vision—rooted in Taoist, Buddhist, and Confucian traditions—embodies themes of harmony, interconnectedness, and natural rhythm. His signature “interwoven curve” technique reflects a worldview aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDGs 3 (Wellbeing), 14 & 15 (Life Below Water & Life on Land), and 16 (Peace & Justice). Though not political, Feung’s art offers a deeply philosophical contribution to global sustainability, showing how ancient wisdom and traditional cultural expression can inform modern solutions.
