'Pressure Points' by Chris Yee

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Chris Yee @yeetheeast

Initially majoring in graphic and textiles design, Chris Yee is an East Ryde (Sydney) based Artist, working Illustrator, Designer & Animator specialising in traditional “pen and paper” methodologies.

He believes in the power of character and storytelling and is heavily drawn to constructing narratives ranging from the humorous to the monstrous and macabre. Inspired by Comics, Wrestling, K-pop, punk and 2000’s rap – it is the Hyperreal and grey area within these genres, the blurring believability between reality and fiction that he finds most engaging.

Outside his art practice, Chris is a designer and animator who has produced work for some of Australia’s best-known brands, including VIVID Festival Sydney, Apple, Sony Australia, Estée Lauder, Samsung – Opera House, Vans, Red Bull, Universal Music and Marvel comics. Chris Spoke at Sydney’s 2019 & 2021 Semi Permanent festival on Future creative youth and industry. In 2019 he created his first Permanent Heritage Artwork, ‘Tumbalong’ for Chinatown, Haymarket, Sydney.

ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Chris Yee @yeetheeast

A collage of imagery mixing East Asian Meridian Points, anime references and woodblock print. All references to different graphical translations of Asian Visual design and storytelling. The sum of which I want to create something unique and visually separate from these references, to represent the unique look and nuanced identity of the modern Australian-Asian diaspora.
