Beijing artist Ye Hongxing uses stickers and crystals to create large-scale collages on canvas, bright in color and mesmerizing in the complex compositions that juxtapose traditional Chinese imagery with the joyously psychedelic.
Since Mao Zedong?s death in 1976, the West has influenced Chinese society and culture, but the artist retains Chinese aesthetics through the Asia-sourced stickers whilst teaming them with the chaotic and lively addition of Western culture. Like Internet pages, Hongxing?s stickers are densely pixelated and a bombardment of information, but most essentially, they are n intensification of motivation in East Asia.
