About Zheng Xie
About the Artwork
Zheng Xie painted bamboo the way others wrote manifestos — with urgency, precision, and a point to make. Each stalk bends under its own weight yet holds; the leaves cluster and disperse with the rhythm of breath. This is ink painting as autobiography: the spare composition, the dynamic brushwork, the refusal of ornament all speak to a man who chose integrity over position. Zheng Banqiao, one of the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou, made his bamboo studies icons of Qing dynasty art — images where the plant becomes a mirror for the painter's own unbending character.
This archival fine art print is produced in our Berlin studio, capturing every nuance of Zheng Xie's dynamic brushwork with the precision and clarity that his bold, economic technique demands.

Art prints and canvas prints from our own studio in Berlin.
We pick every motif ourselves, so you don't have to scroll through tens of thousands of images. Only art we would hang at home makes it into the shop: classics like Hasui's woodblock prints or Klimt's paintings, and work by contemporary artists. Our own team makes every piece in our workshop, from print to frame to packing.

Questions? We're here.
Any questions? Our team in Berlin is always here to help.
Which paper do you use?
Matte fine art paper from Ilford, 225 g. It is smooth, holds fine detail, and its matte surface keeps reflections low.
How long does delivery take?
We make every order in our Berlin studio, usually within 1 to 3 working days, and then hand it to the carrier. In Germany it arrives 2 to 5 working days later. Other countries take longer, and Swiss parcels can sit a day or two at customs.
Can I return my order?
Yes — we offer 30-day hassle-free returns on all prints. If your print arrives damaged or there is a quality issue, we will replace it free of charge.
How do you make sure of the quality?
Our own team makes every art print and canvas print in our Berlin workshop, from printing to framing to packing. What you pay goes into the quality: Japanese pigment inks, matte fine art paper, cotton canvas and solid wood frames in oak, black or brown.
Art print or canvas print?
Choose an art print if you like crisp detail and a classic look behind acrylic glass. Choose a canvas print if you want the texture of a painting and no glass at all. With a floating frame, the canvas seems to float on the wall.
What frame does my art print come in?
A solid wood frame in oak, black or brown, with a 2 cm wide moulding, 2 mm acrylic glass and an acid-free backboard. On the outside the frame is 4 cm wider and taller than the format, so a 50 × 70 measures 54 × 74 cm.
What is a passepartout?
A passepartout is a light card border between the frame and the art print. With us the frame stays the same size and the visible image gets a little smaller. You can add it in every size together with a frame.
Is this a giclée print?
Yes. We make every art print with the giclée process, using Japanese pigment inks on matte fine art paper. The inks are archival and made to last over 100 years.
How high should I hang a picture?
The centre of the picture works best at 145 to 150 cm above the floor. Above a sofa or sideboard, the picture should be about two thirds as wide as the furniture.
What is an art print?
An art print is a reproduction of an artwork on fine art paper. We choose every motif ourselves and make it in our Berlin workshop with archival pigment inks.
