Original-First Moon-Oil-Gold Leaf on canvas
This latest piece captures the essence of the first full moon following the Lunar New Year—a cherished occasion symbolising family reunion and deeply resonant with Yi's grandmother's generation.
Through her painting, Yi seeks to evoke a nostalgic appreciation for family values and the profound love embodied by mothers.
"First Moon" marks the latest installment in Shizico Yi's Sunlit series, which celebrates the vibrant colour of yellow and its profound healing effects on well-being.
The painting was painted with the distinctive and signature element of Shizico's artistic repertoire -- the use of gilded gold. This visual language becomes an instrument through which she plays with space, imparting an effect reminiscent of Japanese block prints and Kintsugi(金継ぎ), the art of "golden joinery."
The incorporation of gilded gold adds a fresh language to the painting, introducing another dimension that deepens the fascination inherent in Sunlit Series.
