Tiger Chinese Scroll Painting – Silk Wall Art – Ink Wash

This Chinese tiger scroll painting belongs to the long tradition of Chinese silk wall art, opening with bamboo. For lovers of tiger wall decor, the format will feel familiar and the subject fresh. Fine lines stay razor-sharp on silk while washes bloom softly around them, and both qualities show here.

In Chinese art, bamboo, the emblem of the upright gentleman; the painter gives the surroundings as much attention as the subject. The brushwork — layered ink washes — is matched by warm, unified color, applied without ever overwhelming the silk. Centuries of connoisseurs preferred silk for its depth; the preference still holds. Bamboo, done in layered ink washes, is the passage collectors will return to. It is in passages like bamboo that the layered ink washes really shows its quality.

The living room's quietest wall is usually the right one. For anyone who collects tiger silk wall art, this is a natural addition.
