On the ground representation in China

First time exhibitor at China's prestigious Shanghai Art Fair in 2006 Steve Morvell quickly became the top selling Australian artist there.

In a country which has taken a public relations beating in recent years China is now beginning to take huge strides forward in conservation with stringent measures being imposed to protect its amazing wildlife. Joining forces with great conservation organisations such as WWF the Chinese government has taken very seriously the need to reach co-operative protection of endemic species.

Wildlife Art as such was virtually unknown to most Chinese until Steve appeared at the Shanghai Art Fair in 2006. Although some animals have always appeared in Chinese paintings they were always as a pictorial element only with symbolic function but the depiction of wildlife for its own sake was mostly unheard of. So staggered by Steve's art were the SAF patrons that he recieved invitations to exhibit everywhere from Tokyo to Beijing and Taiwan.

Beijing Central Art Gallery is a professional gallery offering a very diverse selection of high quality, original oil paintings, watercolours, mixed media, Chinese watercolours, pastels, charcoal engravings, limited edition prints and fine sculptures by outstanding mainland Chinese and overseas artists. Through the gallery, we work together with, exhibit and promote the creative achievements of established and young emerging artists with great potential; each with their own distinctive style.

Having met with Robert and Keturah Mason of Beijing Central Galleries and Cultural Venue they forged a strong bond and have now signed an agreement which makes BCG Steve's exclusive agent in China and they will represent his art at all shows in which they partcipate everywhere from Hong Kong to New York and Shanghai as well as their Beijing galleries.
