This artist surprises with a modern twist on classic fairy tales

Black and white illustration of a fairytale scene with a modern twist.

Feng Wei is a concept artist, illustrator and an external lecturer at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. He takes inspiration from classical literature and combines this with current art trends to create surprising contrasts and juxtapositions in his personal work.

His Fairy Tale Rebirth series reimagines classic fairy tales, taking them in new directions to depict female characters' fantasies. For example, the Frog Prince becomes a frogman dressed in diving gear who embraces the princess to dance on the water.
