| Warning! Beware of fake paintings. |
2009/06/16 |
Unfortunately, many fake paintings claimed to be from North Korean artists are sold in foreign galleries and through the internet. Be aware of the fact that when you want to buy North Korean paintings through the internet you have a good chance of being cheated.
However, Pyongyang-painters.com is totally committed to selling exclusively paintings from N.Korean painters known to it and does not use any middlemen.

North Korean Jewel paintings
|
|
|
This is a typical North Korean technique. The painting is made with coloured stone powders on rigid panels. No other painting is more time-consuming to produce: in fact, it takes many weeks to finish one. In the past the technique was called "Powder Painting", but Kim Il Sung changed it to "Korean Jewel Painting" to point out that it was developed in Korea using precious Korean stones.

Korean painting, ink painting on paper
|
|
|
This style of painting demands that the artist draw from start to finish without stopping.
He cannot correct or draw over what he has painted.
This style requires great skill and takes from 10 - 20 years of training.
