Monkey Papercut Print

This is a print of a papercut monkey image.

In the original form, this kind of image was cut with scissors from a piece of red paper. For many years, prints and posters featuring papercut-style imagery have been popular in Asia. This one is much better than a poster, and the only way to get this kind of image on a wall scroll. This monkey is printed on handmade/hand-pressed Chinese xuan paper with a high-fiber content (you will see natural husks and fibers pressed into this paper). The artwork was then mounted to a handmade two-tone silk brocade wall scroll.

The print was created on a $4000+ Giclee printer. The fine lines and complex geometry would make it impractical to paint this artwork by hand. The dye-based ink used here should give you many years of enjoyment, but please don't hang it in direct sunlight (same rule applies to watercolor paintings etc).
