Based in Taipei, Taiwan, Illustrator Hsiao-Ron Cheng was born in 1986. Using pencils, oils, mixed media and digital, she manages to pack an entire fairy tale into a single picture with that perfect balance of creepy, cute and curious.
“My work allides to the deformation that physically separates human from plants and animals. The environment and situations that I paint are often of surrealist nature, remniscent of school, and partly based on phantasy. My aim is to create more complex worlds with more complicated stories with childlike and cruel creatures, showing different kinds of the fragile and oppressive anima in life.”
Signed and numbered prints, as well as framed sketches are available on her website starting at $20. There is no excuse available for not buying me one.
