Hand painted No 1 Limited Edition-Do Not Go Gentle Into that Good Night

£389.00

Only a few left!

This striking large hand painted limited Edition is No. 1 of only 10 in existence.

80% of the painting is hand-painted in oil and gesso on giclee by Shizico Yi, the edition featuring her signature expressive brushstrokes and hand-mixed colours.

It is signed both on the front and on the back label.


Inspired by Dylan Thomas’s legendary poem Do not go gentle into that good night, this painting is a celebration of life in its maturity and ageing. 

At its centre is Rosa Albertine—an old English rose that blooms only once each early summer, offering a brief, glorious moment of festivity and fragrance. To Shizico, it is a living symbol of a life fully lived.


The painting was created en plein air in the artist’s own garden, where she planted Rosa Albertine in 2016 as a tribute before the passing of her beloved dog, Favor. These rare, once-a-year blooming roses became a yearly reminder of those cherished summers they shared. With every bloom, she is transported back to those days filled with love, scent, and sunlight.

This work captures that memory—a moment of loss, beauty, and profound connection—frozen tenderly in time.

About Summer Bloom Series:

Summer Bloom series began in 2022, where Shizico Yi celebrating the season by painting en plein air in her garden. This painting La Vie en Rose, is a part of the Summer Bloom series.

Shizico lost her beloved dog, Favor, after a four-year battle with the neurological disease in 2017. Shizico began gardening as a way to create a healing space for Favor. After his passing in 2017, the garden evolved into Favor Memorial Garden, dedicated to his precious presence.

This gardening project honour his memory, called Constant Gardener which started in 2015, continues to this day.

In the last decade, In addition to gardening, Shizico began creating a series of drawings and plein air paintings in this Memorial Garden, capturing the blooms and seasons to preserve them in time.


In 2024, Shizico embarks on a fresh chapter with her new rose garden. The first ten newly planted roses in her Memorial Garden project inspired this series of rose paintings.


Colours are the emotional device for Shizico in making these paintings, rather than roses and landscape's real-life hues. For instance, she painted the Double white roses in yellow hue, keeping the shrub's shape but transforming its colour.

This approach, while challenging, allows her to filter her view from reality to an imaginary landscape.

By painting colours this way, Shizico becomes highly sensitive to tones and shapes, rather than habitually matching colours to reality.


This self imposed technique gives her landscapes a touch of magical aura in this series of landscape of roses.


** Each Proof is hand-painted with details using original paint. Therefore, each Proof is unique, and the tone of colour will be slightly varied because it is hand-mixed and painted. The picture here is one of the very first Proof Editions.

This rare large edition offered as an alternative to the stunning original painting celebrating her latest exhibition- Nostalgia -2023.


About the painting:

Summer 2024, the avenue of 130-year-old Lime trees surrounding Shizico’s new cottage Garden captivated and inspired Shizico Yi to paint on a larger scale; with their towering heights, they create a breath-taking canopy which carves the sky into intricate negative spaces. Shizico decided a new approach to paint negative spaces between the trees rather than the positive forms of the trees and her garden landscape.

This major shift allows her to explore the interplay of light and shadow in an unique way, emphasising the negative spaces between the trees and the sky above.

In addition, Shizico painted this series in the colours she desired, rather than landscape's real-life hues. These self-imposed directions give her landscapes a touch of magical aura in this Summer Bloom Series; this stands as a testament to her imagination, bold and always evolving techniques, also highlights the profound inspiration she draws from the natural surroundings especially her gardens where she grows plants and re-makes her own landscape.

Shizico Yi began Summer Bloom series from 2022 to celebrate the season by painting en plein air, stepping away from the studio to immerse the painting process in nature over 6-8 hours almost each day. Her canvas is exposed to the elements—rain, wind, and sun—infusing her artworks with the vivid energy and raw force of the outdoors. The spontaneity of painting in nature brings a dynamic, living quality to every brushstroke.

About the painting:

The Summer Bloom Series is an ongoing project that Shizico Yi works on every summer painting plein air in her garden or on locations. She began gardening in 2015 to create a healing space for her elderly, ailing dog. After her Labrador passed away, this memorial garden became a wellspring of inspiration for her art—a place of solace and healing safe-space where grief and creativity intertwine.

Like a modern-day Monet, Shizico has built her own garden over the decade, reaping the rewards of her labour as it inspires her while serves as a living studio—where her art grows alongside nature and where she make her own kind of landscapes.



This painting captures the sky on a summer night, with moonlight glowing on her herbaceous border. For this series, Shizico adopted a new approach, painting in the colours she desired rather than the landscape's real-life hues. This method allows her to become highly sensitive to tones and shapes, rather than habitually matching colours to reality.

Yellow, one of her signature colour, symbolises not only the light and warmth of the season. These self-imposed directions—materials, colours, and concepts for each series—infuse her landscapes with a touch of magical aura.


This series of Artist's Proof stands as a testament to her imagination, bold and always evolving techniques and the profound inspiration she draws from her natural surroundings especially her own gardens where she grows plants and re-makes her very own landscape.

The delicate bloom of the Cherry Prunus stirs the senses and lifts the spirit, bringing colour and hope after the long, grey months. This work is part of the 2023 Spring Cats and the Sunny Factory exhibition, celebrating renewal, sunlight, and the quiet magic of gardens awakening.

More About Spring Series:

With this Spring Exhibition Series 2023, Shizico tried to push impressionism forward toward Matisse; she is having a very daring courtship with colours and the simplicity of lines and forms, then her paintings move even further closer to the language of Howard Hodgkin, making these new works under this lineage of less about the realistic representation, much more about the colours and its meaning behind the brushstrokes, to celebrate the power of imaginary spaces.


These two masters, Matisse and Hodgkin are at the two ends of the dial, and in between is her playground for this new Series- “ Spring Cats and the Sunny Factory”

About the painting:

The original oil painting was painted in plain air in Shizico's garden. She documented the memory of her late partner, who enjoyed his cigarettes over the years in that particular corner of the garden.

This painting is a part of the project, [ Constant Gardener ] which artist has been developing since 2015.

[ Constant Gardener ] is an ongoing project in memory of artist's late dog and late partner. In 2015, Shizico Yi started gardening to make a garden for Favour to recover from a neurologic illness. After Favour died aged 16, this garden project continued as Favour Memorial Garden in memory of the loss of one's loved ones.

Later on, alongside gardening, Shizico Yi started a series of drawings and plain air paintings in this Memorial Garden, trying to keep the blooms and seasons frozen in time.
