—Chen Chun Hao creates a twist on traditional Chinese landscape paintings by displaying variations in light and density when using, wait for it, a nail gun. The results are an elaborate display of florid landscapes from the most unlikely materials.
There was a time during the Song dynasty in Ancient Chinese tradition when artists focused on conveying the relationship between man and nature. This was done in a calligraphic type technique with delicate strokes creating impressions of mammoth landscapes on scrolls of paper.
Hao is able to capture that same slight brush stroke using a very disparate material but ultimately providing the onlooker with a similar intricate and ornate effect.
We’re all familiar with pattern association, like how Missoni is famous for a certain pattern; well, Matt W Moore is pretty well known for his bold, in your face geometric sculptures.
Atlanta-based artist HENSE has taken the term “paint the town red” quite literally; but hey we ain’t mad at that. His projects are not just small-scale graffiti tags, they’re done on a large scale that seem to take a life of their own during the creation process.
