Woodblock Printmaking with Zhu Rui Accompanying text for the Video.
In August of 2009 we received a 20 minute footage video by Chinese printmaker and painter Zhu Rui. We cut it to a 5 minute video demonstrating how Zhu Rui carves a reduction woodblock print and how he prints a copy. If you should happen to be interested in art prints, and especially in Chinese woodblock prints, you should take a look at the video. It is a gorgeous document how contemporary Chinese woodblock artists work.

Prints by Hao Ping - born 1952 Now all Sold Out.
Hao Ping, born 1952, is a pioneer of modern Chinese printmaking, a movement that set in around 1980 when a new era of nearly complete artistic freedom began for Chinese artists. This page presents a selection of Hao Ping's woodblock prints created in the 1990s. It is an homage to Hao Ping and a documentation of an era that is now gone and part of China's modern art history.

Li Haiping Outstanding Emerging Artist.
When it comes to Chinese prints, we at artelino are a bit spoiled. That's for sure. Our art agent supplies us roughly once per month with selected, top art prints - either by leading Chinese printmakers and painters or by young, emerging artists. But what we received recently, blew our socks off. A series of large format woodblock prints by Li Haiping. The prints show images of lips and a second series shows hands with a small insect. We simply LOVE these prints. Everybody of the artelino staff is crazy for LIPS and HANDS.

Mountain Village of Lagu Contemporary Woodblock Print Masterpiece
At first glance one would not consider the figures in the print to be Chinese. The people of Lagu or Lahu, however, are one of 55 officially recognized minorities in China and one of many who call the Yunnan province their home. It is therefore no accident that an independent and influential art school from Yunnan has emerged and distinguished itself in China's varied cultural and geographical landscape. Printmaker and painter Zhang Yonghan is one of the most famous artists of the younger generation, who have tried to follow the traditions before Mao's Cultural Revolution, while simultaneously finding their own way to contemporary art. With the reduction woodblock print, "Mountain Village of Lagu," he has without a doubt achieved a masterpiece of the highest quality.

Yunnan Contemporary Artists Tuesday, February 26, 2008
On this page we present 10 artists from Yunnan province in China that we began to introduce in our Chinese auctions in February of 2008. The southwestern province of China with more than 40 ethnic minority groups has developed into a leading art center for printmaking and painting. The fame of Yunnan artists has spread outside China, and the international art scene has created the term "Yunnan Art School" to characterize art objects coming from Yunnan. Bright colors and ethnic subjects are the most common bond of Yunnan artists.
