I got a lot of publicity from an article about the Chinese painters that I published on Medium, so I think many people do know. Some people take issue with it, understandably, but also for the wrong reasons. The article is also linked at the bottom of the homepage, albeit it is a bit hidden.
You probably take issue with it because you think you are exploiting the workers, when in reality they want you to buy from them and witholding your purchase hurts them economically. The bulk of the money you spend goes to the artists, after all. Otherwise China wouldn't enact such protectionist trade policies that encourage mass exports.
If you take issue with it because you want to encourage domestic economy growth, then avoiding imported Chinese paintings would be proper, however not all our sellers are Chinese. We will soon be adding filters to discriminate by country of origin.
