Chen Hang Feng - contemporary art from China
Cartwright Hall Art Gallery
10/29/2011 to 2/26/2012
10am-6pm
The international artist selected for the Square Mile Project in Bradford 2010 – 11, this exhibition will host paper cut outs, rugs, film, Xmas trees. Mixing and manipulating corporate logos and traditional Chinese symbols, Shanghai-based artist Chen Hangfeng makes intricate paper cut-outs that respond to both the era of mega-businesses and his own ancient heritage. Film and artworks are representative of mass production industry’s poor working conditions and total disregard for environmental standards. As a graphic designer Chen has created logos almost as often as he’s satirised them, which may be why his non-corporate work is as witty, aesthetically compelling and subtle as the best commercial advertising.
