Taiwanese artist Chen Chun-Hao had been using thumbtacks as his medium of choice in creating sculptures, wall pieces and installations for over a decade. In the past couple of years he departed from thumbtacks and shifted to nails. More specifically “mosquito nails”— small headless pins about a third the size of a toothpick. Using a nail gun, Chen nails these small pins into canvas-covered wood, creating reproductions of traditional Chinese ink landscape paintings. Many of these contain tens of thousands of nails in one work. Crazy impressive! And maybe a little obsessive…
Chen Chun-Hao currently has works included in White Rabbit Gallery‘s exhibit, Down the Rabbit Hole, in Chippendale, Australia.

Woah, truly amazing art. How about some nails with coloured tips? Would love to see that. 🙂
Or even some water-colour backdrops 😀
Please don’t listen to the irritating comments about colour. The nails and what they evoke transcend whatever kitch coloured tips or water-colour backdrops may do. Truly beautiful and awe-inspiring work!
