Icmanekineko is a digital artist based in Shanghai, China. She uses mixed media digital collage as a means of personal and social liberation and as a critical lens to look at stereotypical views and representations of society and individuals. Each piece begins with a single word or thought that evokes an image. She then slices, layers and arranges pictures until a new visual narrative emerges, characterized by vibrant color and paper-like textures. The results are punchy collages inspired by the punk aesthetic of DIY that are thought-provoking while being playful.
