Taipei-based British artist Felix Treadwell (b.1992, Maidstone, UK) depicts fictional characters performing everyday actions. Drawing from childhood’s memories, fashion, sci-fi movies and comics, Treadwell explores the implications of internet culture on young generations, and the way it has reshaped the interactions between the East and West. ​
