You can say Chinese artist, Han Xiaoming, has a great ‘taste’ in art – he actually uses his tongue as a brush to create paintings!
Luckily, he doesn’t use oil paints or acrylic, just sweetened food dye.
Xiaoming, 35, claims he came up with the technique while trying his hands at traditional Chinese sugar painting. The ancient art form involves the use of melted sugar to create figures such as dragons, monkeys, fish, dogs, birds and flowers.
Halfway through his work, however, sweet-toothed Xiaoming got hungry and decided to take a sip of the sugary paints used to paint the sugar artworks. He loved the taste so much that he finally ended up abandoning the paintbrush and continued to paint with his tongue. Over time, he completely switched to using his tongue as a tool for his art.
