The Magic Natural Painting—Wugu Painting

Dear friends, what you are seeing at this moment is a kind of brand new natural painting—Wugu Painting! This painting is magic because it is manually glued by use of raw materials that are purely natural crops and traditional Chinese drugs. In Chinese Wugu refers to miscellaneous cereals and this phrase has been endowed with the meaning of rich harvest and evil avoidance since ancient times. Miscellaneous cereals contain various sorts of grain particles. As you know, grain has rich colors and different sizes. So in order to make it finer and more vivid while producing the painting, we add some flower seeds, grass seeds and particles of traditional Chinese drugs to miscellaneous cereals. Through subtle layout and painstaking gluing, these seemingly ordinary natural crops are turned into beautiful paintings of varied shapes and forms.

Wugu painting has two key features: first, it is purely natural, without any artificial coloring; second, it is a hundred percent handmade. A complete painting needs hundred thousands and even several millions of particles. Materials have to be picked from several areas, sometimes even a thousand kilometers afar. From the obtaining and processing of raw materials to the making and completing of a work, usually dozens of working procedures will be involved and several months will be needed. While making the painting, it is not simply to glue these particles, but instead smart design and elaborative gluing are needed to change these colorful particles into lifelike paintings. No matter line treatment, color matching, or transitioning from bright to dark, it will absolutely be impossible if not for many years of rich experience and mastership in painting.

This magic natural painting was granted “Golden Prize of the Most Collectable Works” at the “Humanistic Olympic Gifts Design Contest 2007”. In August 2007, the “Wugu Map of China” made for the conference of the European Council on Promoting China’s Peaceful Reunification, which was held in Budapest, was highly thought of by overseas Chinese attending the conference, especially by chairman of the European Chinese Association Zhang Manxin. In addition, Wugu paintings of the natural painting series may also be presented as gifts to foreign embassies in China, making foreign friends startled at magic Chinese arts! Nowadays natural paintings are being gradually accepted as a kind of new-type, modish gifts to donate or collect. We believe you will not miss a magic and fantastic painting like this.

As the society develops and progresses, all things will revert and adapt to the development of the nature because humankind pursues the harmony with the nature and yearns for natural things. We live in different regions and times, absorbing and learning both Chinese and foreign cultures and arts of ancient and present times alike, as well as modern knowledge about sciences and technologies. Plunging into the nature, employing natural materials, and through artistic processing, natural paintings will surely be created! Besides, the charms of the nature will also be shown and propagated to those people who seek after natural beauties. Let’s enjoy life together, and taste the charms and beauties of the nature!
