Artist in focus
Chen Tiexiong
Quiet mountain passes, whitewashed lanes and a single figure under an umbrella: Chen Tiexiong paints the edges of southern China in flat, cool planes of colour, framed by a wide band of bare board.

Limited studio editions
Painted by hand, never printed. Numbered, never repeated.
Some compositions are painted more than once by the same artist. We fix the number before the first canvas is started and never add to it, so each painting is signed and numbered on its certificate, for example Edition 3 of 5.

Buying original art online
Choose a painting and check out securely. The artist signs it, the studio frames it, and within 5–7 days you receive a short video of the actual canvas: the front, side light across the brushwork, the signature and the frame. Approve it and it ships fully insured, door to door, in about 10–15 days. Not what you hoped for? You get a full refund before it ships.
Are these original paintings?
Yes. Every work is painted by hand in oil on canvas by the artist named on its page. “Original” works exist once; limited studio editions are painted by hand a fixed number of times, stated on the page and certificate. Copies of old masters are sold separately as Masterpiece Copies (55 works) and always labelled.
