Flexible Paper Sculptures of Li Hongbo

in , , , ,

The creativity has no limits and boundaries and it can stretches and be flexible just like paper sculptures of Beijing artist Li Hongbo "A book editor and designer, the artist became fascinated by traditional Chinese toys and festive decorations known as paper gourds made from glued layers of thin paper which can be stored flat but then opened to reveal a flower or other shape. He applied the same honeycomb-like paper structure to much larger human forms resulting in these highly flexible sculptures." says Colossal

IDENTITY by Jeffrey Wang

in , , , ,

"This is a chronicle progression of a woman. A woman who morphs from innocence to struggles, and back to innocence. From a state of purity, when there is no good and bad, to sophistication, which comes with seduction, greed, debauchery amongst all other evils that dominate the world. On the verge of decadence she struggles, for individuality, for virtue, for her own soul. In the end amidst all chaos, she unites with peace of mind, living with a sober fact that she is just one of them, and she can’t hide. That is her IDENTITY, whether she likes it or not." Fashion photographer Jeffrey Wang speaks for himself

Ordos - A Skate Trip to Inner Mongolia

in , ,

Filmmaker Charles Lanceplaine went on a skate trip to Ordos, a test-tube city located in the remote area of Inner Mongolia. Dubbed “the Dubai of northern China” the city is crammed full of buildings, which seem to be built for the sole purpose of being skated on. Considering Ordos is designed to house a millions of people, but is actually inhabited by merely a few millions just adds to that feeling. Directed, filmed & edited by: Charles Lanceplaine Additional filming: Patrik Wallner & Tommy Zhao

Sculptures by Unmask

in , , ,

"These figurative human and equine sculptures are by a trio of Beijing-based artists who go by the name Unmask Group. Liu Zhan, Kuang Jun and Tan Tianwei met while at the Central Academy of Fine Arts and have been producing sculptural work together since 2001." "These seemingly incomplete stainless steel works show figures in a state of dissolution or perhaps just the opposite, emergence. Regardless, the delicate lines and smooth curves left by the absence of materials make them appear almost sensual. These particular pieces were on display at H.T. Gallery through last month." via This is Colossal
