Dafen Oil Painting Village

See painting as a working trade in Dafen’s studio-lined streets. Small galleries and shops make this Longgang village more immediate than a conventional art museum.

Dafen Oil Painting Village

Why go

Dafen’s painters produce commissions, copies and original work in close proximity, so the streets reveal how art is made and sold here. Studios sit alongside small galleries and ordinary neighborhood businesses. Watch the work in progress and compare styles from shop to shop; the value is the visible production process, not a single famous landmark.

What to look for

  • Painters work in studios that face the street.
  • Small galleries and art shops sit close together.
  • Shops display both commissioned and original paintings.

Useful to know

  • Leave time to browse side lanes rather than stopping at the first shop.
  • Ask before photographing artists at work inside a studio.
