This painting-like art piece comes from an over 70-year-old artist.

"I started doing cork paintings at 8 years old in 1948. I’ve been doing this for more than 60 years."

Producing works with the theme of banyan trees is Wu Chuanfu’s specialty. Starting in the summer of 2008, he worked on the banyan tree series for over a year.

Fuzhou cork art originated in the early years of the Republic of China period in Xiyuan village, Fuzhou, capital city of Fujian province. With more than 100 years of history, it was made with the bark of cork oaks found in Europe. This bark had a light and soft texture, fine grain, and a natural and elegant color, which is why it is called “cork.” From this came "cork painting," a unique folk art handicraft in the world.

"My grandfather is the inventor of cork painting. I learned this art from him."

Mr. Wu's grandfather is Mr. Wu Qiqi, a wood carving artist of Xiyuan village, Fuzhou. In 1914, through the skilled use of various carving techniques, Mr. Wu Qiqi used a sharp knife as a pen, engraved and carved flowers, trees, pavilions, trestle bridges and boats, and then made birds and animals such as cranes and peacocks with the rice paper plant. In accordance with the idea, he stuck all the elements together with white glue, forming a unique style of art. Subsequently, Mr. Wu Qiqi set up a crafts workshop in his hometown, bringing his craft to more people.

Fuzhou cork paintings have sold well overseas in the past century. They are often used as screens, hanging pictures, ornaments and other decorations for the rich or in foyers of big hotels. The art pieces have been repeatedly displayed at different world exhibitions. This time, the Fujian Pavilion at the Shanghai World Expo holds Mr. Wu's works. Wu said that he has received a lot of awards, but what makes him happiest is to take part in the exhibition at the World Expo. In order to create “Rong Yuan," he went around Fuzhou to observe all the beautiful banyan trees there, and often got up to create works on a sudden inspiration in the middle of the night.

Having done cork painting for a lifetime, Mr. Wu Chuanfu is passionate about his work. He also takes many apprentices to pass on his skill and allow more people the opportunity to view its beauty.

"I have trained over 100 apprentices since 1958. I hope they can continue to practice this art form and become excellent craftsmen, make more fine works, and help this art flourish for years to come."
