Beneath the historic Sumatai Great Wall, and on the site of what was once known as Gubei Village, a traditional architectural resurrection has risen.

This entire village, now known as Gubei Water Town, has been created to exemplify the character and ambiance of ancient China. This image of the newly constructed elements is nonetheless an historic photograph, in the sense that it was created before the 21st century project was completed and started welcoming visitors as a tourist destination. 

A Piece You Buy Once. A Piece You Own Forever.

Exclusive to One Marketplace. Certificated. Limited Edition.

This is not a photograph. Not a print. It is a certificated limited edition art piece — and an investment in something that will never fade, never yellow, and never deteriorate.

Greg Lawson’s image is permanently fused into aircraft-grade aluminum using a high-heat dye infusion process. Colors glow from within. Blacks run deeper. The image is sealed inside the metal — immune to UV, moisture, and time. While traditional photographs fade and deteriorate over the years, this piece will look exactly the same in 50 years as it does today. It’s not just art for your wall. It’s something you can pass down — from generation to generation.

WHY METAL BEATS EVERYTHING ELSE
— Paper prints fade and yellow over time
— Canvas stretches, sags, and loses color
— Glass breaks and creates glare
— Metal simply doesn’t deteriorate — ever

CHOOSE YOUR FINISH
Glossy — maximum vibrancy and contrast, jewel-like colors that catch the light. Perfect for wildlife, abstract, and bold landscapes.
Satin — softer, refined, gallery-like. Ideal for architectural interiors and anyone who prefers understated elegance.
