Summer Bloom series began in 2022, which Shizico Yi celebrates the season by painting en plein air in her garden and locations. In 2024, she started on a fresh chapter with her new cottage garden, a major project that will take years to fully flourish. In the first summer, the avenue of 130-year-old trees surrounding this new garden captivated her; these old trees inspired Shizu to paint on a larger scale.
These ancient trees with their towering heights, create a breath-taking canopy and carve the sky into intricate negative spaces, Shizico decided a new approach which she focuses on painting these negative spaces rather than the positive forms. This major shift allows her to explore the interplay of light and shadow in a new and unique way, emphasizing the negative and positive spaces between the trees and the sky above.
In addition to this series, Shizico treats colours as the device for emotion rather than in reality. By painting colours this way, Shizico becomes highly sensitive to tones and shapes and a new sense of freedom arrived in the painting, giving her landscapes a touch of magical aura in this series of Summer Bloom landscapes.
As always, this series of paintings stand 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.
