Bon Appétit! Collage Panda
Collage: Digital on Paper
Collaged by Paoling Rees
Original torn brochure paper collage featuring a panda eating bamboo. This piece was intricately created using bits and pieces of brochure collaged together to make an interesting, unique and one-of-a-kind art piece.
Similar to the happy feeling humans experience when we eat sugary and fatty foods, pandas also experience a dopamine bump when they eat bamboo. So there you have it, the best news ever, not only do pandas look adorable when they're sitting munching away, they're also having the time of their lives.
I enjoyed creating this adorable panda and hope its smile will be spreading to make you smile, too.

Paoling Rees
Taiwanese-born Paoling Rees’ work is characterised by the range of using the vibrant colours and simple shapes to convey moments and feelings about real or imagined semi-abstract landscapes. Paoling also works in a "naïve" style with wild imaginations to show the natural beauty, emotion and pure conceptual ideas.
Paoling, based in England, typically renders her works using acrylic on rice paper (or Xuan paper, originating in ancient China), markers, colour pencils and oil pastels on paper.
Paoling earned a BSc at National Taiwan University of Arts. After moving to the U.K., she completed a master’s degree at the University of Southampton. Working as a freelance artist and designer, her practice has developed in the exploration of art and print design.
At the heart of Paoling’s pieces is the palpable persistence in her response to colour. Colour is emotion, colour is memory, colour has its language. And we are all invited to hear what they are saying.
