CFAA Art Gallery
The subjects of our artwork range from flowers, insects, fowl, people and landscapes. Paintings are done in "Elaborate Style" and "Spontaneous Style". These are the two dominant schools in traditional Chinese brush paintings.
The "Elaborate Style" paintings in China can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty(618-907). Not until the Sung Dynasty (960-1128 AD) did the style flourish and reach its golden age. Although there were numerous elaborate techniques from this glorious era, artists preferred this technique to create their own unique images. The lines in this style are drawn in very delicate detail. Exquisite details of the subjects are achieved use watercolor effect through different shades and tones. "Spontaneous style" displays subjects in an expressive manner with strokes and lines. All of the paintings are done using Chinese brushes and special pigments on rice, cicada or sumi paper.
In this gallery, all artworks are originals and painted by CFAA members. If you are interested in specific painting, please contact artist directly. Gallery will present new paintings every six months which is in January and July, when possible.
