Spring ExhibitionSpring Exhibition Series paintings are pushing the Impressionism toward Matisse; having a daring courtship with colours and the simplicity of lines and forms; also moving even further closer to the language of Howard Hodgkin. These new works were made under this lineage of less about the realistic representation, more about the colours and its meaning behind the brushstrokes; they are here to celebrate the power of imaginary spaces.

About
« A Cat, a Mirror and the Garden » is a painting about how spaces merge as one; the space of nature, the space of the viewer, and the reflective space in the mirror. Each space occupies its own time.
I painted this painting when London was under 6 degrees, yet nature finds its rhythm; these fritillaria bulbs were underground over the long winter, and despite rain and cold, they bloom into a sea of colours; they are the symbol of defiance, the steel grit of living we can find in humble flowers.
Spring Exhibition Series:
" What these paintings of the Spring Exhibition Series try to do is to push impressionism forward toward Matisse; having a very daring courtship with colours and the simplicity of lines and forms, then to move even further closer to the language of Howard Hodgkin, making my 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 my playground for this new Series.
I didn’t know where to start nor end and that is the beauty of it;
the Start and the End of this major Spring Exhibition are the in-between chapters, the artworks that come before and after would continue to take this series forward.
For now, in this period, I have curated 11 works telling a chapter of Spring Story " ---

Artwork description:
The painting is one of the series – Spring Cats and the Sunny Factory. This Artist's Proof is the fruit of the first stage of the painting process. Yi then carries on finishing the painting with another dreamscape and story. Therefore, she transforms the picture from existence to history and memory of a painting.
The name Portrait of the Artist as a Cat says it all; she placed herself in a semi-tropical greenhouse full of colours and a body of water in the background, despite she painted the painting on a very cold February. She portrayed herself as a big cat, an attempt to bring herself closer to her cat’s world, this is the first painting about her rescue cat, Sonny. Later on, she painted the cat in another major painting, which inspired the name of the series- Spring Cats and the Sunny Factory. © Shizico Yi

crossing the River Thames back to St. Paul station,
catching the Central line, the next stop... her studio, adorned with her Favor Memorial Garden, a sanctuary where art and memories intertwine.
This piece is part of the Spring Cat and Sunshine Factory Exhibition.
The paintings in this Exhibition aspire to push impressionism into the realms of Matisse, engaging in a bold visual language with colours and embracing the simplicity of lines and forms.
Shizico then ventured even closer to the language of Howard Hodgkin, grounding the new works in a lineage less concerned with realistic representation and more focused on the colours and the meaning embedded within the brushstrokes. The aim is to exalt the power of imaginary spaces.

Artwork description:
The painting is one of the series – Spring Cats and the Sunny Factory. This Artist's Proof is the fruit of the first stage of the painting process. Yi then carries on finishing the painting with another dreamscape and story. Therefore, she transforms the picture from existence to history and memory of a painting.
The name Portrait of the Artist as a Cat says it all; she placed herself in a semi-tropical greenhouse full of colours and a body of water in the background, despite she painted the painting on a very cold February. She portrayed herself as a big cat, an attempt to bring herself closer to her cat’s world, this is the first painting about her rescue cat, Sonny. Later on, she painted the cat in another major painting, which inspired the name of the series- Spring Cats and the Sunny Factory. © Shizico Yi
About Spring Exhibition Series:
" What these paintings of the Spring Exhibition Series try to do is to push impressionism toward Matisse; having a very daring courtship with colours and the simplicity of lines and forms, then to move even further closer to the language of Howard Hodgkin, making my 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 my playground for this new Series.

I didn’t know where to start nor end and that is the beauty of it;
the Start and the End of this major Spring Exhibition are the in-between chapters, the artworks that come before and after would continue to take this series forward.
For now, in this period, I have curated 11 works telling a chapter of Spring Story " ---

Shizico Yi, PhD in Fine Art based in London. A Letter from Shizico I paint moments, I cast time in sculptures, I do installations to open space, I make films to hold true, I design and make clothes, I am the dying breed of the artist that really makes things; I have a Ph.D. in Fine Art, I am based in London, but home is where my animals are, on earth or in heaven. Oh, I am a gardener too, I want to keep on making works that connect to you, I believe that arts should be available to all, not just to a small group. I also believe good arts hold value in time because time tells the truth, and sound arts speak with that voice. I hope through this online shop that, you can own good art, these artworks can bring enlightenment to your daily life, hope you can join me, to own a piece of me through having my artworks. so I can keep doing good works and with your collection, we can grow old together, that is a sweet thing that I like to do and I cannot do it without you. I have set up my Studio Gallery, where I create artworks, do installations, casting sculptures and making gardens; if possible, to run an in-house design studio for my clothesline in coming years; my clothes are rather lovely; I hope one day you can wear them too. It sounds a lot, I know, but I promise you, I will have only one cat and no dog. my garden has 100s of birds and dozens of squirrels every day, few foxes in the night, one moon, million stars, one wish, to make art. With love and gratitude Yours sincerely Shizico Yi |
