@ubahnverleih oder es ging wieder ein Wortwitz verloren. Ich muss dringend Kanji üben

And in Dafen (Shenzhen) we stumbled across the cutest cat café ever. The cats weren't caged, but could come and go as they pleased via the balcony.
And i totally missed that it's #caturday today, which perfectly fits on this whole thread…Yesterday I mentioned the Dafen Oil Painting Village. But what is it? 🧵

So, when we hear Shenzhen we think of electronics manufacturing. But Shenzhen is also very good in producing other things: Oil paintings. Let me explain. 🧵

In 1987, back when Shenzhen was only a small city, Huang Jiang had a workshop near the Hong Kong border. He produced replicas of famous paintings for the western market.
But as the city and the electronics industry grew, so did the rents. Huang Jiang needed to move his workshop. He chose the small and quiet village of Dafen. At the time it was not part of Shenzhen, meaning the painters did not require a permit to live there. -

Some of Jiang‘s workers opened own workshops and painters from all over china moved to Dafen. Shenzhen factory workers hoping for more flexible working hours may also have come to Dafen to try their luck as painters.

In 1992, when a client ordered 360,000 paintings and they had to be finished in only 6 weeks, all the village’s painters joined forces and developed a factory-like assembly-line method. Each painter specialised in a specific part of the image. This drastically improved both speed and quality, enabling them to complete the task in time.

If you have a replica of a famous painting, chances are high it was painted in Dafen. I found numbers, that in it‘s peak times 50-70% of all oil painting replicas sold world wide were produced in Dafen.

@ubahnverleih That's very interesting. Just today i was looking to buy a print of a specific oil painting and found a website where they offered hand painted replicas. I was wondering how it could be so cheap.

Today the painters doesn’t only replicate famous paintings, but also make their own creations and develop their own styles and interpretations.

A mix of classic images, anime characters and portraits of celebrities, as well as landscapes, from which it is hard to tell whether they are classic or the painter's own creation.

The domestic market becomes more important these days, so you can spot some Chinese landscaspes and sights and i guess some Chinese classics.

Most of the artists we saw painting in their workshops were painting commissioned work, primarily portraits.

Around 10,000 artists live in the relatively small village of Dafen, and it shows. Many of the buildings are painted in a unique, colourful style.
