Taiwanese artist 陳浚豪 Chen Chun Hao (Howard Chen), uses a nail gun, an air compressor and millions of "mosquito nails", headless metal pins fired into white canvas to create these incredible works of art.
Working for up to 10 hours a day in his studio, Chen estimates he has fired about 5 million nails through at least 25 nail guns, and in the process he's worn out two industrial air compressors.
“When I started this, the nail gun was just a nail gun,” explained Chen, “and now it's turned into a brush.”
