Sunset Song

Sunset Song Series
Sunset Song was created entirely en plein air, painted directly under the dimming light of late-summer and autumn sunsets. This work is a meditation on seeing without looking — a quiet surrender to intuition, craft, and the fleeting rhythms of nature. Shizico Yi drew upon decades of working with her own hand-mixed pigments. In this piece, she captures the moment when the shifting sky meets the deep silhouette of the lime trees that inspired much of her 2025 work. Painting in the low light of evening, she trusted her understanding of colour, tone, and gesture to guide the composition. Every painting in this series had to be fully seen the following morning, as each was completed in near-darkness. This ritual — the suspense of painting into night and the revelation at dawn — became an essential part of the project, bringing excitement, anticipation, and a renewed sense of delight to Shizico’s practice. |
