About
Jenny has been working with paper cuttings for a decade to focus on the contemporary manifestation of traditional art. She developed a unique stylistic approach that combines reduplicated abstract patterns and detailed realistic drawings.
Featuring the aesthetics of both Chinese art and Western art, the paper-cuttings reflected an inspiration sourced from a multicultural experience. It has encouraged a conversation between the past and the present, the East and the West, and the imaginative and realistic.
