Spark Arts is hosting a special exhibit in honor of Chinese New Year. "Different Life" showcases paintings created by three artists from the Guizhou Province in China. This community is primarily a farming community, with peasant artists using the downtime between farming seasons to create artwork depicting their ceremonies as well as every day life.
We are honored to showcase these wonderful pieces January 15th through February 28th. All pieces for sale. A great gift for Chinese New Year or any occasion.
