Week Ending 10th Sept'05

Eric Feng is a Taiwanese artist who has achieved some notoriety in recent years for his hugely individual work, which is on display at his website.

Influenced by Chinese brushwork and calligraphy from his early studies in Taipei, and then encouraged to define his own unique style when he studied further in New York, his work manages to somehow capture the beauty and serenity of classic tradition and combine it with the cogs and bolts of modern machinery.

The website itself is wonderfully composed too. Just select the gallery you want from the top menu bar and use the arrow buttons to cycle through the various works. Check out the animations in the Inside Out section - especially the Inside Out movie that is linked at the bottom of the page. Incredible.

There isn't much information on this site other than the images and a rather odd written statement from the artist himself, but then you don't really need information when you're looking at art, do you?

These intricate studies are beautiful, and the crisp cleanliness of the website only serves to enhance their overall appeal.
