DAFEN: le village des Peintres
Dafen Artists Village - China's Mass Market of Copy Art
Working from postcards, books and internet, the artists of Dafen, across the border from Hong Kong, are copying, but also creating, original artworks. Chinese exporters say these imitations are nevertheless different from originals because they are handmade and therefore do not violate copyright; other experts beg to differ. Dafen houses dozens of stores selling cut price artists materials with upstairs studios which attract increasing numbers of trained artists. Entrance to the painter's village.
