In Chinese culture, a painting is more than an image; it is a physical object that lives and breathes. For Wang Qihan’s "The Immortal Picking Lingzhi," the format is the hanging scroll. At SinoInArt, we treat the mounting of our 1:1 replicas with as much importance as the printing itself, employing traditional mounting crafts to complete the piece.
Our artisans utilize natural starch adhesives and multiple layers of custom Xuan paper to back the artwork. This traditional "wet mounting" process allows the scroll to remain flexible and durable. It ensures that the scroll hangs with a natural tension, allowing the immortal to appear as if he is truly standing in the mountain mists.
The selection of silk is a critical part of the process. For the Wang Qihan replica, we choose silk damask with patterns that reflect the Southern Tang aesthetic. This provides a luxurious yet historically accurate frame that enhances the meditative quality of the Taoist theme.
The final touch is the solid wood rollers. These provide the necessary weight to keep the scroll flat and stable. The ritual of unrolling a SinoInArt scroll is a sensory experience—the sound of the silk, the smell of the paper, and the visual reveal of the "Cai Zhi Xian" create a moment of profound cultural connection.
Don't settle for a framed print. Experience the authentic format of Chinese art. A traditionally mounted scroll from SinoInArt is a piece of living heritage that adds a layer of scholarly sophistication to any interior.
