It's always nice to receive gifts. Receiving unusual gifts is twice as pleasant! Just over a month ago, Jackie Chan celebrated his jubilee. The famous actor turned 60 years old. Surely he got a lot of surprises, but one of them definitely liked not only the birthday boy, but also many others.
Artist Hong Y i (alias Red) created the installation of the name of your favorite actor. This is his portrait, made of Chinese chopsticks. The girl needed exactly a month and 64 thousand sticks for the project.
Hun uses in his work is not quite ordinary for drawing materials: flowers, pins, seeds, coffee and even socks. A talented girl herself calls herself "an artist who likes to draw, but not with colors." Portraits of celebrities created by her hands, all, like one, look very impressive! This time, the choice fell on the chopsticks for two reasons. First, they are associated with China in the whole world. And secondly, as in previous projects, Red wanted to show that you can create something beautiful from any material. And she did it again!
Three months before the jubilee, art director Jackie contacted Hun and asked to participate in the upcoming festive event. For a while, Red collected wands in restaurants in Beijing, and then started working in the office of the actor himself.
All of March Yi tied Chinese sticks in bundles and hung them on a steel frame in such a way that from a distance one could see the outlines of Chang's face. The portrait was presented a few days before the anniversary. And a little earlier there was a promo-video about how the gift was created. Hun and Jackie were satisfied with the joint work and each other. According to the artist, Jackie is very kind, funny and looks like an adult child.
