Malaysian architect and artist-on-the-side, Hong Yi, showed what artistry and passion could do to create a unique modern work of art, minus the Andy Warhol touch.

Hong's formula is simple - choose a famous artist, select a new type of medium that relates to the artist, and pass it on as modern art.

Enter Jackie Chan, who celebrated his 60th birthday this Monday, add Hong, gather a collection of 64,000 pieces of disposable bamboo chopsticks, and we got a portrait.

Inspired and driven to innovation in her work, Hong tied sticks of chopsticks to form a contour of the face of Hong Kong's most famous action star that the world has known since Bruce Lee.

Hong, who goes by the nickname "Red", honored the martial arts artist with her chopsticks portrait, presented during a charity concert on Chan's birthday in Beijing.

Receiving various oohs and aahs from the Beijing audience, the chopstick portrait was later topped by a video made by Hong, and was released on YouTube to show how the art came to be.

A grateful Jackie made a guest appearance, and to the amazement of viewers on YouTube, the two had serious moments and lighter ones where the two sparred with chopsticks.

Chan in the end conceded and called Hong a "master."

In the video, Hong detailed how she worked with 64,000 pieces of disposable chopsticks for over a month, from conceptualizing, to gathering the materials, and finally painstakingly tying the sticks together.

The Malaysian artist remembered how Jackie used chopsticks in his films like the "Fearless Hyena" in 1979, and the reboot of the 1984 film, "Karate Kid", where he portrayed a Chinese kung-fu master to Jaden Smith in 2010.

Jackie Chan (Chan Kong-sang), born April 7, 1954 slowly gained prominence in Hong Kong cinema with a comedic style of martial arts, which was in contrast to the dark and serious styles started by Bruce Lee.

From his first film performance as an eight-year old child to his adult years as an obscure stunt man, Jackie won Hong Kong audiences with his light action comedy.

Instead of a lavish party befitting someone known worldwide and respected in Hollywood, Jackie celebrated his 60th birthday by mounting a charity event in Beijing for children with cleft lips.

Hong said Jackie deserved a tribute for his modesty, so she used ordinary bamboo chopsticks to create something beautiful for him.

Hong has a studio and office in Kuala Lumpur and Shanghai.

She has made original artistic interpretations of personalities like singer Adele, basketball superstar Yao Ming, and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg which can all be found on her YouTube page.
