Immersive work of Ed Pien

Ed Pien creates drawing-based installations that pull from a myriad of sources, including myths and legends from around the world. The haunting characters he depicts waver between violence and playfulness. He has also created large-scale cut-paper installations, juxtaposing delicate, decorative cuttings with dark, demonic characters; the result is a push and pull between beauty and horror that wraps the viewer up in an unsettling experience. 

Ed Pien's installation engages the audiences. They are haunting and provide infinite opportunities to explore, and the audience would like to get consumed by the works and become part of the piece.

Some of his works deal with the ambiguous roles of a victim and aggressor. Their roles might shift His works have undercurrents of violence but not overtly graphic.He wants to soften the blow .He wants the audience to access the work and hence wants the work to be playful and colourful.The beautiful aesthetics of his works soften the blow of the content.He wants to address issues but in a way that is engaging.He wants to leave the work open enough so that the audience can interpret it.

He likes a sense of the unknown and unpredictability in his process. He likes accidents that he could not control or did not anticipate.
