Formally audacious, Alex Chien’s works are infused with personal meaning, plus social and cultural resonance, raising awareness and proving that cartooning or graffiti art can become a very effective tool for illustrating important matters of the contemporary society.

Alex Chien – If I Were A Plant

With a strong auto-sarcastic attitude, Alex Chien puts himself in a hypothetic situation of being a plant, introducing a utopian version of his self, his identity and his personality, shaped into a vegetal dimension. 

He slips the viewer into the perspective of an alternate reality, poking fun, while, at the same time, drawing attention upon crucial environmental matters of our times.
