Style
The work of PHUNK is greatly influenced by popular culture and its ever-evolving series of metaphors, codes and iconography.
Having grown up in the ‘70s and ‘80s, its members are inspired by Hong Kong's kungfu movies and Cantonese TV series, Japanese anime and manga, American TV programmes, DC and Marvel
