Summer Night-Oil Gold leaf on canvas
This painting captures a view from the east end of the garden, looking towards the west gate where 130 years old giant Lime trees frame the view while wildflower areas bookend on both side, with the tall and stately summer flowers of Alliums and Eremurus (foxtail lilies) at the centre background to draw viewer's into the depth of space;
the deep colour blue represents the night sky, reflecting Shizico's experience of painting plein air into the summer nights in her garden and gold leaf serves as a conduit of moon light and symbolising the eternal glow (hope) in the dark.

Gold leaf is one of Shizico's signature materials, symbolises not only the light and warmth of the season but also serves as a device for her to explore space and time in a two-dimensional language. These self-imposed directions—materials, colours, and concepts for each series—infuse her landscapes with a touch of magical aura.
About the Series:
The Summer Bloom Series is an ongoing project that Shizico Yi works on every summer painting plein air in her garden. She began gardening in 2015 to create a large, healing space for her then ill, elderly dog. After her Labrador passed away, this memorial garden became a source of inspiration for her art and provided a place of solace as she coped with her grief.
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.
