Where is the real origin of your art paintings that are purchased from gallery in high price? This article explores the truth for you with statistics from importing data of customs from EU and US.

Oil painting reproduction, like art artist, da Vinci, Dali, Monet, Van Gogh, Remington, Raphael, Rembrandt, art gallery, artwork, watercolor, pop art, fine art, art painting, oil paintings, Leonardo da Vinci Mona Lisa, da Vinci Leonardo Last Supper, Leonardo da Vinci, Claude Monet, Monet paintings, Vincent van Gogh sunflowers, painting art, abstract art, is called “commercial painting” in the jargon of oil painting. It’s different with original painting. The oil painting industry has a history of 20 years and it has always been in an embarrassing position since the end of 1980s when this industry rose from Guangdong and Fujian province of China.

China, EU and the United States are the main manufacturer and the largest market of oil painting. With per capita annual income is high, Americans and Europeans have great purchasing power. Their houses are spacious and they are enthusiastic about interior decoration and gift / present, with a preference for tasteful ornaments such as oil painting, so there is a large demand of ornamental oil painting in US and EU, including abstract painting, landscape painting, landscape paintings, portrait painting, watercolor painting, acrylic painting, painting artist, online painting, art oil painting, art oil paintings, contemporary painting, painting company, street painting, painting for sale, animal painting, landscape oil painting, original oil painting, oil painting artist, portrait paintings, portraits painting, canvas oil painting. But considering its extremely expensive manpower, imported oil paintings prove to be the best choice.

According to the statistics of US Custom, its imports of oil paintings keep growing in recent years, with over $2.5 billion in 2003. And in 2008, US' oil painting import had already exceeded $12 billion.

We can see from the statistics of US Custom that, several countries’oil painting exports to US have surged since 2004. For example, the export by France increased from $998 million in 2003 to $3.5 billion in 2008, a net increase of $300 million while Britain almost doubled from $378 million to $601 million and the annual export growth rate of Germany reached 30%-60%, up from $244 million to $332 million. Austria’s export to US stood at $121 million from January to April 2006, three times more than the total $42.85 million in 2005.

In Russia, the number was $29.73 million in 2003, $94.33 million in 2008. Greece also witnessed an export growth from $1.264 million in 2005 to $15.224 million in the four months ending in April 2008.

It is important to note that ornamental oil painting is painters’ handwork and it takes at least two years to train a professional painter. As a result, the annual growth rate of oil painting supply of so called “producing place” is normally less than 10%, especially with scarce or expensive manpower. Therefore, if the supply in some countries or regions suddenly shoots up , it is because they have got other “source”-- the transit trade. Oil painting is different from industrial product in that it has no “Made in China”label, benefiting the transit trade by some countries and regions.

The oil painting export route which used to be China—Hong Kong—Europe—US and now changed into China—Middle East/ North Africa—Europe—US.

So why not buy from the goods source directly?

For those few big painting company, who have their own studio with at least 100 painters and a showroom over 300 square meters. Fujian TOPERFECT is among them, (http://www.oilpaintingfactory.com) as you can see in their videos. Big suppliers like this are the only ones who are drawing big buyers on.
