I will bring some photos to copy etc

Jatujak plaza. Located behind jatujak market. Its open everyday and has alot of little shops doing paintings.

Was there on the weekend looking for paintings and saw alot of shops with the artist(s) doing reproductions of pictures.

Saw one artist doing a painting of a woman from a photo. It looked exactly like the photo. Absolutely beautiful.

Another was finishing up a painting of flowers, from outside the shop it looked like a photo of flowers.

anyone know the price how much cheaper than mbk?

Price depends on what you want done.

Wife got a 40 x 80 custom work done for B5k. Acrylic with lots of texture and shiny bits. Texture made from a mix of acrylic and ground quartz.

Alot of artists there, everything from modern abstracts, to traditional landscapes and potraits to beautiful water colours.

Dont know how much cheaper then MBK, never tried buying paintings there.

I found a painting I liked at JJ market, made by Chaiwan Tanya-U-Dorn, Section 7, soi 6. His phone is 08 9512 0227 or 08 9810 7946.

It is 160cm high and 190cm wide (3.04 m2), and we paid 20K plus 1K for transport to Mabprachan near HW36/Pattaya and hanging on our wall (it was spot on and straight as well!)

There are many artists other than this one to choose from at JJ market.

For Pattaya dwellers, I have found Chart gallery and frame shop on Naklua road good, run by a nice couple who can speak good English, with nice quality and good prices.

If I look on Ebay.com under - repro oil paintings you can see most of them for less than $25 US

and that is someone taking them to the west and making a profit ,

the ones from China directly are $10 US

So I would think you should be able to find similar prices in Bangkok,

that's more the range I am looking for 500-2000 baht tops

Any other areas to look at ?

thanks

Dafen Village, Shenzhen, China is the place where they have whole factories full of artists churning these paintings out quite cheaply. I saw a news article on this a few years ago and made a note about it. Plenty of information on google.

Has anyone reading this been there - are the quality of the paintings any good ?

I'm going to SZ on biz, if I have time, I'll have a look around in Dafen.

I doubt if I will get to China and would rather spend my money in Thailand ,

Any other places tpo look at ?

OK, let me bite since I know quite a bit about this business as I have been involved, many years ago.

The quality of the paintings in the video is low.

The OP wanted to have some paintings copied but he didn't say if he was talking about portraits or normal paintings.

Portraits is one of the most (if not THE most) difficult works of art and EVERY single painter is different and only a few are amongst the top and their prices will be accordingly, whether in Thailand or Shenzhen/Guangdong.

The OP however is only talking about CHEAP prices; you can't have top quality paintings if you pay cheap prices...not in LOS and not in China and certainly not in the West.

I have met and worked with the most amazing painters who studied many years on the mainland China's Universities. Absolutely the top, but you won't find those overnight. You need a Chinese agent to find those. Those painters study for an entire year, just painting hands...go and imagine.

The quality of the paintings, shown in the videos is low to very low and are mass production.

If you want quality you have to pay for it.

One of the most successful contemporary art painters from China is Li Zijian, living in California now in an unbelievable palace home***.

I met him and his wife and own one of his paintings which I acquired in 2000. At that time it was quite expensive but his paintings fetch now incredible prices at auction houses in both the West and Hong Kong, Singapore and Shanghai.

*** Just found some pics of their home...not bad for an art painter from China, is it ?

Hi,,,,

yes I want cheap , its just stuff to go on the walls of my shop ,

I am not looking for museum quality,

and its not copying the "masters" that has been overdone and like I said above if you look at the ebay auctions they are not even selling at $20-$40 US

mostly old advertisments and logos , think of 1950s Coca Cola ads , stuff like that

I am sure there are very talanted painters in China or THailand ,

but there are also average painters (who are 100 times better than me)

So some place that is decent and not the overhead of MBK which has to triple the price compared to a shop in a Thai area or Chinatown.....
