Hanging out in Guangxi Province near Guilin

I have wandered many trails from village
to village around Southern China, and
sights like these may grace you on
almost every hike.
If you have the means, two good legs,
and an adventurous spirit, I suggest
you come to China and see it for yourself.
If not, having this painting on your wall
is a nice compromise.


About the artist:

The artist's name is Chen Rui-Fu. He is the youngest artist that we represent as he was born in 1975.

I found this artist through his teacher, who happens to be Mr. Ou-Yang (you have probably seen some of his work on Oriental Outpost).

Chen Rui-Fu is from Longsheng county of Guangxi Province in Southern China.

The artist Chen Rui-Fu practices his art of creating beautiful Chinese landscape paintings

After graduating from Liuzhou Traditional Chinese Arts Academy, he began working as a designer for an arts & crafts factory.  A few years ago, the factory went out of business, leaving him with no way to support himself or his family.

He made a decision to become a full time artist, and be his own boss. But he also needed to "brush up" on his traditional Chinese painting techniques. Through a friend, he was introduced to Mr. Ou-Yang Guo-De, a somewhat famous artist of Guilin in Guangxi Province. Mr. Ou-Yang became his mentor and guide as this new venture started. Already Chen Rui-Fu has aroused the interest of many art buyers because of his rich colors and wonderful balance/contrast of sharp details and softer backgrounds in his paintings.


More about the painting:

This is an "elaborate style" painting which has a lot of detail and uses a delicate technique with a very fine brush. Each stroke is meticulously applied. This technique takes a long time for the artist to complete.

This painting was created on xuan paper (rice paper) which has been mounted to a silk matting/border. The artist used special Chinese black ink and watercolor.
