"Great Wall" by Ren Hui

This exquisite woodcut entitled "Great Wall" was made by internationally renowned Chinese artisan Ren Hui. He expertly picks out the fine details of China's greatest landmark in his signature pointillist style. The wall rises from the minute notches in the painted wood, white on black, as if it were a constellation of stars. The ethereal quality is dissonant with the image's subject, creating a unique and magical rendition of one of human kind's greatest wonders.
