Quintessence promotes Liu's works

Shanghai Chinese Quintessence Art Co Ltd is an art company that professionally manages the artist Liu Linghua's works and derived works. Its two main objectives are representing Liu Linghua's original works in the art market as well as designing, developing and managing the serial derivatives of Liu Linghua's works.

Such derivatives include hand-crafted embroidery, ornate scarves, a series of limited post cards, the unique gold and silver paintings and his encaustic paintings. Liu Linghua is exclusively represented by the Shanghai Chinese Quintessence Art Co Ltd.

The focus on representing the works of Liu Linghua is to secure his original paintings to the appropriate level of an exclusive market that truly appreciates his art, while the other is distributing his derived works to a larger, but not less appreciative demographic.

Shanghai Chinese Quintessence Art Co Ltd premieres Liu Linghua's works through a series of international exhibitions catering to serious collectors from around the world. Such collectors include financial consulting firms and institutions, as well as large merchants and other private organizations.

Liu Linghua's delicate embroideries, golden and silver foil encaustics, hand-made scarves and the beautiful series of post cards are exquisite in their artistic style of integrating product with design and development for those who seek refined definition, delicacy and near perfection.

The company has participated in various major activities in the country. It donated 220 embroideries of Chinese quintessence to the 2008 Beijing Olympics as precious gifts for the 205 delegations from the world. It also donated 20 embroideries to the 2007 Special Olympics World Summer Games.

The company cooperated with Hong Kong Wen Wei Publishing Co Ltd to publish the super luxurious Chinese quintessence art album entitled "Famed over the APEC" and presented 5,000 copies to over 1,700 cultural organizations in more than 200 countries and regions.

The organizing committee of the 10th Shanghai International Film Festival chose the embroidery of "The Drunken Beauty" as the present to Hollywood actress Sharon Stone.

The company was awarded by the Friends of the United Nations for its efforts in promoting Chinese culture and achievements in promoting cultural exchange with the world. It was also awarded for its outstanding contribution at the China Luxury Summit 2006.
