KWANYIN CLAN’s street-art inspired, traditional chinese fish adapted to multiple mediums ///

July 30th, 2010

The Kwanyin Clan crew, lead by EDGE Creative Collective member, NATO, are up to their old tricks again: mixing and mashing different mediums, cultures and styles.

The below framed piece is titled “Passage of Time” and features an iconic, traditional Chinese fish made up of graffiti-inspired letters, all placed on top of a Western landscape painting. The same “street art fish” is also the central character of a recent black, white and gray graffiti piece documented below. We love how one inspirational visual / idea can be adapted so elegantly to different mediums.

If you’d like to collaborate with Kwanyin Clan, purchase any of their work, or view their full portfolio, please send us an email at: EDGE@Neocha.com

“kongfu tortoise,” a “china-style” animation by nanjing-based students GU ZHIHAI & HU WEILI ///

July 30th, 2010

See below for a “China Style” (中国风) animated short titled “Kongfu Tortoise” (功夫龟) by Nanjing-based Communications University of China students Gu Zhihai (顾志海) and Hu Weili (胡溦利) that tells the story of a cute martial-arts inclined turtle making his way up mountains and through streams. The colors and “Xuancheng” paper effect used throughout gives the animation a cool retro / traditional Chinese feel. “Kongfu Tortoise” took Gu and Hu two months to complete.

Bravo! We love this! Check it out, and let us know what you think in the comments section below.

visuals | “shrimp” by FENG LING ///

July 30th, 2010

We’re intrigued by the below piece from Kunming-native and multi-discipline creative Feng Ling. The piece is titled “Shrimp” and we’re not sure if it’s because of the ocean or the pinkish color of the sky or something else?

events | “ghosts & men from badong,” a talk by new york-based chinese painter YUN-FEI JI ///

July 29th, 2010

We typically don’t post about the Chinese “fine art” beat, but this looks particularly interesting. THE BUND FORUM presents an artist talk by New York-based Chinese painter Yun-Fei Ji (季云飞). Starting with the artist’s latest work, in the format of a traditional hand-scroll The Three Gorges Dam Migration commissioned by Museum of Modern Art New York, Ji will discuss his ten-year exploration around the theme of the Three Gorges Dam Project in which he uses landscape painting to express the Utopian ideals of Chinese history from past collectivization to new consumerism. At the talk, Ji will also speak about his life and experience as a Chinese artist in New York, a city that has embraced many of his Chinese peers like Ai Weiwei, Cai Guoqiang, and Xu Bing.
