About Summer Bloom Series:
Summer Bloom series began in 2022, where Shizico Yi celebrating the season by painting en plein air in her garden. This painting La Vie en Rose, is a part of the Summer Bloom series.
Shizico lost her beloved dog, Favor, after a four-year battle with the neurological disease in 2017. Shizico began gardening as a way to create a healing space for Favor. After his passing in 2017, the garden evolved into Favor Memorial Garden, dedicated to his precious presence.
This gardening project honour his memory, called Constant Gardener which started in 2015, continues to this day.
In the last decade, In addition to gardening, Shizico began creating a series of drawings and plein air paintings in this Memorial Garden, capturing the blooms and seasons to preserve them in time.
In 2024, Shizico embarks on a fresh chapter with her new rose garden. The first ten newly planted roses in her Memorial Garden project inspired this series of rose paintings.
Colours are the emotional device for Shizico in making these paintings, rather than roses and landscape's real-life hues. For instance, she painted the Double white roses in yellow hue, keeping the shrub's shape but transforming its colour.
This approach, while challenging, allows her to filter her view from reality to an imaginary landscape.
By painting colours this way, Shizico becomes highly sensitive to tones and shapes, rather than habitually matching colours to reality.
This self imposed technique gives her landscapes a touch of magical aura in this series of landscape of roses.
** Each Proof is hand-painted with details using original paint. Therefore, each Proof is unique, and the tone of colour will be slightly varied because it is hand-mixed and painted. The picture here is one of the very first Proof Editions.
