Video: Chen Hangfeng


Uber cool - from Cool Hunting
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.

[Note: Cool Hunting incorrectly identifies the artist as “Feng.” His correct surname is “Chen.” Chinese convention is for the surname to come first.]

Daily Prosperity: Works of Chen Hangfeng

   
From Shanghai Scrap: Observations on Asia and the world by Adam Minter, an American writer in Shanghai.

Upon first examination, the wallpaper pattern shown below appears to be little more than a modern, perhaps psychedelic, update of a traditional Chinese paper cut (click here, for traditional examples).

But closer examination reveals something more subtle, and more playful: Though not obvious in this photo, there is a third key layer to this work: the images underlying the various logos were taken at Shanghai recycling centers and garbage dumps, and depict various types and degrees of consumer waste.

Designed by my friend Chen Hangfeng, a Shanghai-based artist and designer who has spent the last few years creating similarly playful, but serious works about the impact of consumerism on Chinese culture, this work - and others - constitute “Daily Prosperity,” a solo show currently on display at Shanghai’s Art Labor Gallery until January 2.

Inhabitots » Frazier & Wing Recycled Magazine Mobiles

         

Posted on Inhabitots:

You say moh-buhl, I say moh-beel - on some things we disagree. But when it
comes to the aesthetic beauty a mobile can add to any nursery or kids¹ room,
we all agree that Frazier & Wing¹s Recycled Magazine Mobiles are a great,
green, gorgeous option.

The Frazier & Wing mobiles that incorporate a wide spectrum of colors and
complimentary shapes are cut from magazines and then strung into fluffy
cascades. Heather Frazier ­ the Portland, Oregon based artist behind Frazier
& Wing, ³creates decorative art and design objects for modern interiors and
environments.²

That said, the only thing left to disagree on is whether or not Frazier &
Wing¹s mobiles are worth the asking price (the mobiles range from $85 to
$250).
