Yu Qiucheng's ongoing exhibition in Beijing, titled The Re-painterly Nature of Found Objects, showcases how he recycles factory waste into sculpture-paintings, installations and mixed-media works.

A leather bag designer from Wuhan, in Hubei province, Yu often visited processing factories in Shenzhen, in Guangdong province, where he's found a lot of "leftovers" from the assembly lines.

Yu, who sees the busy workshops as the epitome of the country's labor-intensive industries, uses the textures, colors and shapes of these leftover materials — including paper boards and wire nets — to create his art.

To create his works, he reprocesses the material by applying color, tearing it and attaching it to daily use objects.

The exhibition at Beijing's Today Art Museum runs through Nov 20.
