Hong Yi: Art, Her Way

I Hong Yi, or Red as she is known to friends and followers, is an artist who has designed

paintings for FacebookTM, GoogleTM, AT&T®, and Nike®. She has received numerous awardsfrom international art agencies. Jackie Chan, famous film director and stuntman, has evenhired Red to paint his portrait. And yet she never useS. a paintbrush.

2 Red always had an interest in art and design, so she studied architecture in college. Whileworking at an architectural company in Shanghai, Red wanted to stay in touch with friendsat home in Malaysia. So she had the idea to send them an interesting video. Red asked acoworker to video her as she painted a portrait of professional basketball player Yao Ming-using a basketball instead of a paintbrush! Just for fun, she.alsouploaded the video to

YouTube". The video went viral. Red began to wonder if she could make a living as an artist.Her boss was more than understanding. For six months, he continue.d to encourage her to

pursue her dream. If being an artist didn't work out, he told her, she could come back to herjob as an architect. It worked out.

3 Since that time, Red has "painted" portraits of Adele with melted candles and Taiwanesemusician Jay Chou with coffee cup stains. She painted ftitbol stars Lionel Messi, CristianoRonaldo, and Neymar da Silva Santos Jr. with, of course, a ftitbol. And that portrait of JackieChan? Red bundled 64,000 chopsticks with string. Then, she hung them on steel cables tocreate Chan's likeness. All without using one single paintbrush.

4 It is important for Red to utilize materials in her art that reflect her subjects. A ftitbol wasthe natural choice for the portraits of Messi, Ronaldo, and da Silva Santos. Red laid outthree massive canvases, side by side. She assembled her paints in eight buckets anddipped the ftitbol right in. Starting with yellow, she began to create the background byoutlining the stars' faces. Then, with nothing more than the ftitbol and her own two feet,Red dribbled the ball from left to right to create amazing likenesses of the th.ree men.

5 Bringing attention to social and environmental issues is also important to Red. She chosechopsticks for the Jackie Chan piece. The chopsticks highlight Chan's cultural heritage butalso showcase how everyday disposable materials can be upcycled to beautiful works of art.

6 Without the need-for a paintbrush, Hong Yi has shown the world that art has limitless

possibilities.
