The Guest by Kzeng Jiang

(China Debut) This version of The Guest is by Kzeng Jiang, the first Chinese artist to join the creative universe of this iconic character. The work of the Shanghai-based designer reflects the contemporary culture of Asia in vibrant illustrations. Kzeng seeks to render his cultural roots through symbols of traditions like Chinese facial painting or flower painting from the Song dynasty, reinterpreting these elements in his own personal style. In this case, The Guest portraits three big eyes on his face which, according to Kzeng, “allow him to see the past, present and future as if he were a messenger travelling through time.”
