It's interesting, cause our modern super expensive art schools in America teach us by having us copy old great masters' art, which is based on the European style of apprenticeship. So they essentially have the same training as artist that pay 50k for art education and are expected to sell their works for thousands. But cause this is in China these artist can only sell there work for a few dollars, yet the amount of work and experience that goes into each piece doesn't change because of geography.

As an art school graduate, that's assuming you did fine painting and is successful. Most art school students I know did practical design modelled off the Bauhaus school and work for wages. Also a lot of students end up doing minor commission pieces for less than 1K most their lives. It's true there's less opportunities in China but there are Chinese artists in the Fine Arts world going to Art Basel and stuff making millions off a piece. Also I come from Canada, but honestly I find some Chinese institutions are closer to American levels of prestige, wealth, and popularity than other western countries (*cough* Canada *cough*)

The world’s ''fake'' Van Goghs and Basquiat come from this village. ''Replicas'' is the right word. A fake by a forger is when the size is the same as the original and imitates the artist's signature with the intention to mislead prospective buyers for a large sum of money. Before the advent of the color printing press, Europeans buy painted replicas of Rubens, Rembrandt and what have you. Today one can obtain permission to imitate artworks in Western art museums provided the format is not the same as the original.

What people in the comment`s need to understand is that the market don`t pay a premium for " hard work". It pays a premium for " value" and prestige. This is why Jean Michele Basquiat made it in the art market while others did not. He created a uniqe style. A style that was in alot of ways alot like other neo expresionists. But he also created " brand" by beeing brilliant at marketing and sales. It`s not just about creating art, but also about other skills like marketing and storytelling. That is playing on the arch type of the " Struggling artist" and having his own style ( the mix of hip hop and the business suite of the 80s). The art market actually don`t care where you went to school, it do help. But it is not a " great story". Comming from the ghetto in china, could be a part of a story like that ( the market do love underdogs). But there also needs to be a part that makes it stand out. That is if the artist had dyed his hair pink, or some other style. People would notice him more. It seems more like " artisan" work than real " Bohemian" or artist in the romantic tradition of the types of Oscar Wilde, Lord Byron, Picasso and so on. That is what the audience want`s to see. They want to have a story to talk about, when they brag to their friends about buying the artwork. In a lot of way`s a modern artist don`t even need to be 100% new. That is the art can be a form of " Remix" of other styles... But it need`s to stand out in a way.

@@00Julian00 Even food thrives on the principle of originality and creativity. The great food classics we have today were once original - and can be appreciated as such. However, the chef who continues to proffer up barbecue sauce and spare ribs, will certainly delight a certain sector of the restaurant-going population, but his lack of creativity and originality will hardly mark him down as a great discoverer or gastronomic genius. Nothing wrong with munching down on a burger - just don't call it haute cuisine. Same goes for art. Technical skill is important, of course - but it is only one fifth of what is needed. It is the difference between an acrobat and a prima ballerina. The acrobat will make you say "Gosh - that was impressive." The prima ballerina, however, may induce in the viewer a lasting cathartic experience of life-changing depth. Mere technical skill is nothing without creativity. I can teach a student to draw realistically in six months (6 weeks if he or she has natural talent). But once they have that skill, if they spend the rest of their lives drawing photo-realistic pictures of gormless, angsty teenagers, I would consider my lessons a failure. If you get stuck in the "technical skill only" trap, you are in danger of entering that giant hamster wheel of sterility, and all progress, innovation, creativity, and intellectual and philosophical progress, halts. Certainly, if you just tell people "Just be creative!" you will just have poo smeared on the wall. There must be balance.
