THE FURRY THING
TEXT & IMAGE: KAMWEI FONG
(For Thai, press here)
The Furry Thing is a series of furry animal illustrations first created by Kamwei inadvertently back in 2009. Using only black micro pigment ink, Kamwei has created a menagerie of playful kitties, doggies, and other animals. Despite their contextual isolation and uniform style, each of Kamwei’s cats displays unique personalities: some are fluffed and puffed into self-contained balls; others look with curiosity or wariness at fish that dangle or waves that crash from the animals’ own tails. The artist builds each feline form using innumerable short thin lines, varying the density of the marks to create volume as well as a palpable sense of furriness.

My interest and passion for the beauty of built structures since an early age have motivated me to travel to different cities and discover their unique charms. Memories have been transformed into architectural/map drawings interlaced with elements of painting. Unusual perspectives capture different urban landscapes in broader and more detailed views.
The work’s concept stems from a desire to explore into the astonishing births of cities, their history profoundly anchored and evolving over time, shaping every aspect of their existence. Particular focus is placed on architecture, which serves as an archive of a place’s past, present, and future.
Much like humans, cities develop their own distinct identity, characterized by unique features and beauty. The essence of this creative process lies in the endeavor to construct perspectives that enable the depiction of a place with great thoroughness and detail. Using a pen, each line is drawn, one by one. The recreation of a city through each stroke of a pen feels like revisiting the city’s birth and growth through the passing course of time.
