Asian Mixed Media Art

Beijing Opera, or Peking Opera, is a kind of Chinese opera and has a 200-year-long history. In ancient times, Beijing Opera was performed mostly on stage in the open air, teahouses, or temple courtyards. The actors change masks onstage, unbeknownst to the audience. This technique is known as changing faces. This Alex Zeng creation is a homage to that time and the amazing art and variety of these masks. The eyes seem to peer into your soul as you gaze at this amazing piece of work. As always, this piece is framed in a black wood veneer and protected by a glass lens. It is also hand signed by the artist.

The silhouette of this fish is formed by layers of thick printed paper. Rainbow hues show vividly against the black background under glass encased with a black frame.

This dominating piece depicts a long horn cattle skull, yet is shaped by iron sculpture. This powerful image imposes itself effortlessly and is sure to dominate any room with its stark simplicity. Yet, there is also fine detail in the wires wrapping the horns and the use of many colors, hidden in intermingling patches. A very evocative image, with great symbolism as well as style

Beautiful layers of green make up the cacti sprouting in this collage. The lavender planter with an embellished border is an appealing contrast to the greens and match the cactus flower. Under glass with a light colored frame, its stylish look makes this art blend in many types of decor.
