The collage “The Beauty and The Pet” in pop culture is presented with the artist’s unique style in publication snap shots to create a contrast between the main object and secondary object. The main object is presented in its original pentagon shape and the secondary object is collaged with related images. During the process of creating, the artist outlined the images first then screened out the unrelated objects. With his artistic intuition and outstanding art language, the artist realized the innocent and purity of the scars left from burning from the initial stage and eventually began the “imagery meaning” creation. The turning point of the above mentioned is the remnant of a fire in the 90s which sparked the idea of destroying and recomposing old elements. 

Since the 90s, Xue Song has numerous exhibitions in Europe and America and won high recognition from local artists and community. His artworks are collected by world renowned art museums and collectors. Therefore, in 2010, he was invited by Salvatore Ferragamo to design an exclusive bag collection. Later in 2011, he worked with designer Van Zanten for the Imm Cologne Furniture Fair. Together, they combined environmental friendly leather with the tension from art totems on a sofa. It is not only a business alignment of art and commodity, but also a blend of the Eastern and Western cultures.
