Wax
Painting Art in Guizhou, China
As a
traditional printing handicraft, wax printing has been prevailing in
China's
Guizhou province for at least a thousand years. Instead
of using the craft mainly on garments, these contemporary painters
have combined the wax printing craft with many other painting skills
and created a number of wax printing pictures with a unique style.
Having lived with
national minorities in Guizhou over
a long period of time, these artists have not only the knack of
traditional wax printing skill, but also a profound understanding of
the minorities' life, such as music, dance, festivals and customs,
which is fully incarnated in the works.
We
are so proud to have the opportunity to give our visitors and users
the chance to enjoy the beauty of Guizhou wax painting art, and to
experience ethnic culture in Southwest China.
