冯海瑞先生今年69岁,从事面塑艺术已经30多年了,他本不是世家出身,可是他的面塑却把赫赫有名的北京"面人汤"的艺术传承下来,又加以发展,形成了自己的独特风格.冯海瑞1973年正式拜著名大师"面人汤"汤金章先生为师学习面塑艺术,几十年的时间里,他博采众长,从绘画、戏曲、民间美术中吸收营养,不断成熟和发展,创作的题材和内容不断拓展,从早年间擅长的神佛人物、盔甲戏,到近年创作的反映北京传统风俗的"民间花会"和三百六十行人物,都栩栩如生,活色生香.他的代表作神佛题材的"风调雨顺"、"钟馗"和民俗题材的"北新桥的传说"、"旧京年景系列"等在建国四十周年和建国五十周年的民间艺术精品展中获得大奖.他本人也荣获了"中国民间工艺美术家评委会"和"联合国教科文组织驻京办事处"授予的"民间工艺美术家"称号.
