    About:

    Ma Jianfeng is adept at creating artworks from scrap materials found in everyday life. By configuring them into shapes, dismantling, reassembling and displaying them, the artist disrupts the order of elements intrinsic to these found materials and images. Displaying his works as painting installations, he creates chaotic and theatrical spaces brimming with ambiguity and vitality.
