“4me4you” visits SCREAM Gallery which showcased Jacky Tsai - Eastern Orbit

SCREAM Gallery.>.Constantly evolving and re-inventing his creative output Tsai is something of an hybrid whose practice encompasses a broad range of imagery, techniques and media. The fact that Jacky alludes to himself as 'a collage artist' is revealing in his approach to creating artwork and he comments, "my extremely mixed background definitely helped me to produce art differently".

Having worked with British fashion designer Alexander McQueen it was here that Tsai designed the now iconic floral skull motif and this catapulted the McQueen brand into public consciousness and cemented Tsai's reputation as an exciting and innovative designer. This design perfectly captures the core concept of Tsai's artwork - the fusion of East and West. Tsai's intricate rendering of a human skull using flowers, branches and birds references the traditional Chinese painting style known as 'guohua' meaning “national” or “native” painting.
