Chinese artist Wenyi who lives in Dali, Yunnan Province, China uses pieces of cardboard that he finds on the streets to use as his canvas. Wenyi draws his surroundings which is mostly trash because he lives in a poor area. He likes to draw black and white sketches, but then Wenyi also likes drawing colorful homes straight out of his hometown. "I want people to see art in our everyday life even if it's on wasted paper." Wenyi is very interesting because he just wants people to look at the world and find art in everything because there is art in everything, and he said even if it's on his cardboard canvas. Wenyi's work is inspiring to me because it is not just like ordinary art, it's his real life on the poor, rural streets. I think its cool because even though he is poor he can still do what he loves and what he is talented at doing. Wenyi's work draws me in because I like the detail that he gives to his drawings in both the colored ones and the black and white ones. The art he creates is what is right in front of him and that is what an artist should do; look at your surroundings and use that.
