Video: Chen Hangfeng
From Cool Hunting.com [ http://www.coolhunting.com/archives/2008/01/chen_hang_feng.php]
Mixing and manipulating corporate logos and traditional Chinese symbols, Shanghai-based artist Chen Hang Feng makes intricate paper cutouts that riff on both the era of mega-businesses and his own ancient heritage. This video visits Feng in his studio and accompanies him on a paper-finding walk while he talks about his work, his teacher and materials.
Very cool.
[Note: Cool Hunting incorrectly identifies the artist as “Feng.” His correct surname is “Chen.” Chinese convention is for the surname to come first.]
