airbrush, paint
Frank Zhang's Portfolio contains a wide range of airbrush painting applications from illustration to murals and body painting. His work is closely associated with everyday life and subcultures that overlap between individual and public spaces.

“Airbrush had been a popular tool for art and design since the early 20th century. Airbrush techniques have been applied in many creative fields such as fine art, illustration, graphic design, architecture, industrial design, and fashion. The mechanical advantages of spraying seamless colour gradients make the airbrush an ideal tool for artistic rendering and production. It was widely used in the mid 20th century in many creative industries and everyday applicationsNowadays, airbrush has transformed into nostalgia associated with the pre-digital age and POP culture. Although the history of airbrushing was rarely studied in mainstream art and design history due to its technical nature and its subordinate position in art production, the development of airbrushing is arguably an important clue to reflect how artistic practice is shaped by technology.”
