Xing Chen, a Beijing, China artist who we discovered on one of our recent buying trips, painted this Wind scroll. The artist, Xing Chen, sealed this Wind calligraphy painting. Seals are the way Chinese artists "sign" their artworks and can be used to identify the artist of a painting. The artist may also place additional seals on some paintings with meaning of a personal nature, relating to beliefs, past teachers or his favorite things in life. Each artist will usually have a number of these seals on hand to personalize each painting according to it's meaning to the artist. The seal is also a way to balance a painting, so that it is pleasing to the eye.
