 present the human face and body using opposing, yet equally beautiful means—computer programs and hand drawings, respectively—showing lines that are “not only believable but breathe a life of their own”. 

A review of his work above. What took me a back with Andre Wee's work is how interdiscplinary it all is, he even has piece of beautiful moving image in his portfolio. What struck me about his life drawing's is how sensitive they same. I'm not entirely exact about the process, but under the title Line Forms, I believe he actuall drew the line forms and them put them on a computer and mapped only certain strings of it to get the soft and sensitive flow of it, yet remain the graphite like texture. I think they are very sensitive studies and look almost ghostly. I really admire he ability to take the projects further and make sculptures out of string mimicking the computer generated images, yet I don't think the lighting does them justice. I am slightly disappointed he didn't play with the shadows and incorporate them into the piece, I'm sure they look much more stunning in real life.
