Anthony Zinonos’ Refreshing Take On Collage Art

Steph Wade — Fri, 03 Aug 2018 13:00:00 +0000

Oakland-based collage artist and illustrator Anthony Zinonos uses found materials to make art that lightheartedly displays the experience of being human.

A vested interest in color and paper means that Zinonos has applied his collage style to a wide range of editorials, book illustrations, murals, and animations. Like many works of art, Zinonos uses his medium to make subtle commentary on experiences and emotions that are universally felt. For example, the work titled ‘Weekend’ depicts with great simplicity a person sprawled flat on their back—exhausted by a long week, perhaps. ‘Holding It Together’ is both literal and metaphorical, but whether for life or oneself, the viewer can’t say. ‘Happy Place’ displays a small child chilling in a summer-time pool tube; a happy place indeed.

A Tunnel Made Of 8,000 Rice Paper Sheets

Monika Mróz — Mon, 08 Aug 2016 16:00:33 +0000

Made of bamboo, cotton and 8,000 sheets of rice paper, Zhu Jinshi’s ‘Boat‘ is a monumental installation suspended from the ceiling and stopping just before the ground. Chinese artist used Xuan paper, a material infused with Chinese history and tradition. Encouraging the visitors to take a walk through the 12-meter installation, Jinshi not only shows a symbolic representation of a boat, but also refers to the notion of a journey. Reminiscent of a spherical tunnel, the artwork reflects Jinshi’s journey from east to west, while simultaneously paying homage to the dead’s passage from living to the afterlife. Walking through the paper tunnel becomes a spiritual experience – while the material dulls the noise and light of the outside world, the visitors start to perceive the tunnel as a representation of a boat’s journey, the drift between the cultures and worlds.
