Li Wei  (李 日韦) was born in 1970 in Hubei, China. Based in Beijing, the Chinese artist's work is a mixture of performance art and photography that creates illusions of a sometimes dangerous reality.

Li Wei started off his performing series with ‘Mirroring’ and later on took off attention with his ‘Falls’ series which shows the artist with his head and chest embedded into the ground. Li Wei states that these images are not computer montages and works with the help of props such as mirror, metal wires, scaffolding and acrobatics.

"My work and artistic experience are characterised by a unique specificity and particularity. My artistic language is universal and deals with themes about contemporary politics and society using symbols understood by everyone in every part of the world. I am fascinated by the unstable and dangerous sides of art and I hope my works reflect these aspects." says the 37-year-old artist.

Besides creating photo-art, Li Wei also do installations. Check out some videos of his works to see how he did his art. Read more in this report by the Daily Mail.

Harmony Gong is a little chinese girl who likes to draw pictures. She was born on January 29th, 1984 in a very small town called Morro Bay located on the central coast of California. Her father, John, immigrated from China and married her mother, Betty, moved to Morro Bay, and had her older sister, Kristie sometime in the 70’s.

Harmony was born without much to do except draw. When she started schooling at Cuesta College in 2002, her beginning drawing teacher suggested she look at the works of Aubrey Beardsley as her drawings then were of a similar style. She attributes this suggestion to the sparking of her interest in pursuing an art career, a rare choice in her family of salaried professionals.

Eager to experience a bigger city with greater potential, Harmony moved down to San Diego in 2004 to attend San Diego State University. A new city with new people provided her with the opportunity to experience a more artistic lifestyle and further develop her drawing style. In school, she met fellow artist and boyfriend, Henry Leo Duclos to which she gives the most credit for getting to where she is today.

In 2006, Harmony Gong graduated with a B.A. in Art with an Emphasis in Multimedia. Currently, she spends most of her time with her boyfriend drawing, playing Final Fantasy, or watching movies.

"Art is not limited to any particular media. You can use many techniques to express an idea. I use photography because I often have ideas that I think would be lost in the process of painting."

Born 1981, Zhang Peng is an artist based in Beijing, China. Zhang Peng graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Art in Beijing in 2005. He has a background in painting but has increasingly embraced photography.

Zhang Peng's work centres on images of young girls in deceptively innocent settings. He photographs dolls with frozen expressions, against lush ambiguous backgrounds. His photo-based paintings of little girls are striking to behold -  beautiful yet slightly terrifying.

Zhang Peng describes his works as:
"In a broad sense, all of my works demonstrate a kind of oppression. If conditions allow, parents plan a future that they think will be good for their children. If they are not wealthy enough, they hope their children will have a skill and then they force them to develop it. As children grow up, their character is distorted by the inappropriate pressure of their parents and their schools. The appearances of my figures drift between real people and dolls. While the image is aesthetic, I also want to reinforce the strong sense of distortion."
