A creative look at the art Hong Yi

Artist anything a Young Chinese artist Hong Yi (Hong Yi), also known as Ed, has never picked up a brush to paint one of his paintings. To create portraits and illustrations Hong uses unexpected materials — from decorative cosmetics to sunflower seeds.

PortraitsPortrait of a favorite singer from traces of coffee cups





Listening to the song of popular Taiwanese isponiteli Jay Chou, Hong Yi drank her morning coffee. The song begins with a line about a coffee Cup, raised from the saucer, and continued the story of the journey of 20 years in the past. Accidentally putting the Cup is not on a saucer, on a white tablecloth, Hong left a bright trail of coffee on the white cloth. So the artist had the idea to draw a portrait of your favorite singer with the bottom of a coffee Cup.

The idea of the portrait of the socks was born spontaneously: "When I first arrived in Shanghai, I saw an old residential alleyway and linen, hung out to dry from the Windows of the bamboo sticks, moving in the wind. I thought it was incredibly beautiful." The artist spent 3 weeks to seal the pins 750 pairs of black, gray and white socks.

Portrait of a Chinese conceptual artist Ai Weiweii of sunflower seeds





The choice of seeds was not accidental. In 2010 AI Weiwei carpeted the floor of the Turbine hall of London's Tate Modern, one hundred million sunflower seeds made of porcelain and painted by hand. For his portrait Hong Yi used conventional sunflower seeds, which before "drawing" counted. The creation of the short-lived picture was taken exactly 100 000 seeds.

Pens and printer





Using 1500 sheets A4, Red scanned the feathers, each time shifting them into a new drawing. Then all the patterns were printed and glued in a certain way, what was a few long strips. Their Hong attached to the crossbar. When everything was ready, the audience appeared a huge dove. This project was named "Feathers".
