Sunlit Series-Summer Bloom 2022-23
Original on Paper:
This is one of the Summer Bloom series started in 2022, it took Shizico 2 years to finish this particular work. Shizico lost her beloved dog Favor to Wobbler Syndrome after four years of battle with a neurology disease in 2017. Shizico started gardening in 2015; she made a garden for Favor to recover. After Favour died, this garden project continued as Favour Memorial Garden in memory of his precious presence. (2015- 2024 on-going), the project called Constant Gardener, an on-going project in memory of Favor.
Alongside gardening, Shizico started a series of drawings and plain air paintings in this Memorial garden, trying to keep the blooms and seasons frozen in time. Visually, these paintings are inspired by Japanese woodblock Print and the a nod to calligraphy tradition. The series called "Sunlit Series" where Shizico develop her pictorial language, with and around the colour of yellow: it's an exploration of the healing power of yellow (hence the application of Gold Leaf).
This painting is featured in the exhibition Golden Summer at GSY Studio Gallery. London 2023 . It is included in the permanent Archive at Shizicoyi.com https://www.shizicoyi.com/goldensummer2023.html#/
This series aims to capture a unique facet, where the golden hues engage in a dialogue with the layers of landscape. The interplay of these contrasting elements upon the textured surface of gold leaves adds yet another layer of tactile fascination. © Shizico Yi
