This small detail from a paper cut tiger’s face by Beijing-based Wu Jian’an astounds with its detail. Created in unlikely colors, the pastels lend the tiger a dream-like appearance, in keeping with the esoteric imagery. (In Chelsea at Chambers Fine Art through Dec 20th).
Wu Jian’an, detail of ‘Faces – Tiger,’ hand dyed and waxed paper-cut, cotton thread, paper, 66 ¼ x 53 ¼ inches, 2014.
