chinese painting bamboo pillow cases

Bamboo is a rare plant in the Americas and Europe. So when people see bamboo-patterned throw pillows, their eyes will surely be drawn and they will have a more natural style feeling. This painting style has existed for thousands of years and represents a highly abstract ink-wash technique. It is believed to have originated when an artist observed the shadow of bamboo projected on a wall and subsequently sought to capture this ephemeral image using brush and ink, thereby giving rise to an exceptionally abstract artistic method. Prior to this development, Chinese painting was predominantly rooted in realism, resembling Western oil painting and sketching traditions. This particular technique bears certain affinities with Western Impressionism in terms of its expressive and interpretive qualities.
