Oh Suiiii,
Depending on your political persuasion, religious beliefs, nationality, sex, or race, 2016 was considered a year of chaos. To that notion, no place on earth, do the cultural winds blow stronger and harder than in China.
Despite the innate desire of the Chinese people to strive for more, it is this complex environment that was the genesis of ‘The Cultural Storm’ project.
I use my art to help visualize the eye of the storm, and my illustrations are a collection of the wild winds sweeping across China.
I purposely chose terms popularized in Chinese internet culture such as Tu Hao, the Land of Counterfeiters, Made in China & Money, and arranged them to into a series of collages.
This collection is now collaborating with Chinese street fashion brands as well as being on prints for local skateboard brands.
