About this wall scroll

The artwork was painted on xuan paper (often called "rice paper" in the west). The raw artwork was delivered to our Asian art mounting shop in Beijing. There it was built into a completely handmade silk wall scroll by a skilled craftsmen (one of the best in China). The result is a wall scroll that will last many years, and is leaps and bounds above the "tourist trash" wall scrolls that you find in the markets and gift shops around China.

About the artist:

The artist's name is   (Li Lian-Hui) but he signs his artwork with his pen name (Ren Yun).

He's from Lingui in Guanxi Province. For much of his life he was a farmer, but spent his spare time learning to paint. His favorite subject is bamboo. In fact, often goes on walking trips through the throngs of bamboo near his village to observe and paint.

While not a classically trained artist, he did learn techniques from various famous artists that he met in his life.
