Li Xiaofeng (1965- )
Li Xiaofeng is an artist that uses shards of traditional Chinese ceramics, which come from a number of dynasties, and sews them together to create unique “garments.”
“Li Xiaofeng’s recent installations are of so much charm. He chooses the real fragments of Ming - Qing blue - white porcelain as materials in his works for he has been obsessed in the research and collection of ancient porcelain over years.”
Underneath each item of clothing is lined with leather, which - along with the metal wire - helps keep the art together. In his studio, he collects the shards and puts them into bins. He sorts this bins by age of the ceramics, colours, patterns, etc. The pieces of these ceramics are selected from these sorted bins, and sewn together to create something completely different.
He has create a large number of clothing - ranging from long dresses of different silhouettes, to suit jackets, and hats.
