Shao Fei, born in Beijing in 1954, first learned the technique of drawing from her mother Shao Jingkun, who is an oil painter. She joined the army at age sixteen, and during her six years of service she was able to continue to paint and exhibit. In 1976 at the age of twenty-two, she entered Beijing Painting Academy as a professional painter.
Shao Fei was a member of the taboo-breaking Star Star group and participated in its exhibitions in 1979 and 1980 as well as many exhibitions in China, the U.S., and Japan. One of the exhibited works "Last Song of the Grand Historian", is painted on both sides of the paper to build up dense, opaque layers, similar to the surfaces of the Modern Heavy Color painters. The deeply emotional feeling of the artist is conveyed through her Expressionist devices of composition, stroke, color, and texture.
In 1984 and 1985, ShaoFei work was shown in the exhibition, "Contemporary Chinese Painting" which toured in the U.S.
