Dafen Oil Painting Village, Shenzhen, China.

An entire area, Dafen, near Shenzhen is given over to a community of artists and arts suppliers. You want an easel, oils a copy of an old master no problem.

Sadly, one thing that is lacking here is originality. After enquiring, whether I could buy original work by young or established artists. Er.... No.

However,, you can buy the Mona Lisa and it's four times bigger than the original!
