By and large, illustrations created by a Singaporean author Chan Hwee Chong, should be called an advertising art project. After all, they are all made for the company. Faber castellwhich specializes in office supplies such as pencils, pens and rollerballs. But if this fact is not taken into account, spiral illustrations from Chan Chong Hwi can also be self-sufficient creative works, unusual and very original executed. With one stroke of the pen, then thickening the line and increasing the pressure, then making it thin and almost invisible, the artist painted three paintings, cover versions of the famous portraits of Van Gogh, La Gioconda and a portrait of a girl with a pearl earring. Without taking his hands off, without swiping twice along the same line, but he is probably a magician!
From a distance, it seems that these paintings appeared on a cut of an ancient tree, painted with annual rings. But all this is the work of the artist Chan Chong Hwi and the wonderful office of Faber Castell. This is what the unusual advertisement shows, in which there is much more creativity and painting than you might expect.
In addition to unusual spiral illustrations, the artist has other works - installations, examples of street art, which can be seen by looking at his website.
