East Meets West


East Meets West
East Meets West

East Meets West (东西相遇), an exhibition of posters by graphic designer Yang Liu, opened at the Thailand Creative and Design Center in Bangkok yesterday. The exhibition will close on 13th March.

Each poster illustrates a difference between Eastern and Western (specifically Chinese and German) cultures, represented by pictograms. The examples are based on personal experience, as the artist was born in China and lives in Germany. Each cultural difference is expressed as a binary opposite, though the tone is never judgemental and the images are often comical.
