Spring Cats and the Sunny Factory

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.

About the painting:
Shizico Yi captures the beauty of early spring as she documents the first blossoms in her garden under the warm morning light. This sight is especially anticipated after enduring a long, cold winter in 2022. The colours in her painting serve as a celebration of the vibrant spring sky, contrasting with the soft, filtered morning light that shines through groups of delicate pink tulips in the background.
The composition of the painting portrays the renewal and awakening of nature during the spring season. Shizico Yi skillfully combines the fresh hues of the sky with the gentle illumination of the morning sun, creating a sense of tranquilly and hope. The pink tulips, arranged in clusters, add a touch of elegance and grace to the overall scene.
The choice of colours in the painting is significant in conveying the atmosphere and emotions associated with early spring. The artist uses light blues and warm yellows to depict the clear, crisp sky of the season. These colours evoke a sense of freshness and new beginnings. The soft pink tones inspired by the tulips further enhance the overall visual appeal, adding a pop of colour against the serene blue and lively yellow.
Through her artwork, Shizico Yi captures the essence of spring, symbolising the arrival of warmth, growth, and beauty after the long, harsh winter. Her use of colour and composition effectively conveys the joy and anticipation that come with witnessing nature's transformation during this time of year.

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.

Note:
-You can also frame the canvas Edition with your local framer, or there are DIY Float Frame which is trendy at the moment; just google Float Frame for Canvas Size 40x30 CM.
-After a period of time, the tension of the canvas might become loose. If this occurs, it can be regained by genteelly hammer-in the canvas wedges fitted at the back of your Canvas Edition.

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 am trying to set up my Studio Gallery, where I can create works, do installations, hold residencies and collaborate with other artists, if possible, to run an in-house design studio for my clothesline, 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 |
