Taiwanese artist Chen Chun-Hao (L) communicates with a visitor in front of his mosquito nail drawing work at Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts in Taipei, southeast China's Taiwan, July 20, 2012. Chen Chun-Hao is a Taiwanese artist who replaces paintbrush with nail guns in copying the traditional Chinese ink paintings. He uses a nail gun to shoot thousands of small mosquito nails, or headless nails, into a canvas-covered wood board to reproduce traditional Chinese ink masterpieces. Looking from a certain distance, these nails on the wood board together form fine lines and delicate shadows under the light. But looking closer, the nails' sharp metallic nature come forth. For the young artist, this kind of imitating is not a way of simple copy but recreation. He tried to look for the possibility for creation within the physical limitation of certain materials.
