Barber Tong Zili: I found that many of the tools I used to draw with these hairs came from the beauty salon, sometimes stealing my wife's foundation, and stealing her beauty instrument, using it to humidify the hair.
Tong Zili painted many tiger paintings, including cartoon tigers, tender tigers, and funny "Mona Li Tiger". In fact, Tong Zili has not systematically learned to paint, all of which is driven by interest.
In Tong Zili's barbershop, there are many paintings, like sketches, but in fact, these are all painted with hair, and the average length of each strand is about 1 mm.
Tong Zili has been engaged in the hairdressing industry for more than 20 years, and in 2020, by chance, he suddenly wanted to draw an abstract portrait with his cut hair, and he did not expect to be liked by customers. After that, he began to explore the themes of tong zili's works from abstract paintings to landscapes and animals, from cartoons to realism, and at present, Tong zili has created hundreds of paintings.
