Art Labor (sp?) has a new installation on..
INFO:

ART LABOR Gallery invites you to an fabulous new installation of chandelier, paravent (wood screen), carpet and wallpaper by artist Chen Hangfeng, along with other works on paper.

Chen Hangfeng arranges the logos of the world’s largest companies into traditional Chinese patterns with a modern twist, without soaking it in cynical irony. As an ancient woodcarver might have used the bird he observed in his daily life and place this in his work, Chen Hangfeng takes the symbols in front of our eyes and puts them into his work as motifs, creating very attractive works of art composed of rather more normally mundane corporate logos of our times. Notable art critic Karen Smith has recently commissioned works by him.
