Yiching Chen
Spring Rain by Chen Yiching - Contemporary nihonga painting, flowers, wisteria

2024

About the Item

Spring Rain is a unique painting by contemporary artist Chen Yiching. The painting is made with mineral pigments on Japanese paper mounted on wood, silver leaf, dimensions are 110 × 153 cm (43.3 × 60.2 in). Dimensions of the framed artwork are 115 x 158 cm (45.2 x 62.2 in). The artwork is signed, sold framed (white shadow box) and comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist. Chen Yiching produces floral artworks which delicateness equals the precision required by the Nihonga, a Japanese traditional pictorial technique used for their composition. Nihonga literally means: ‘Japanese’ (nihon), ‘painting’ (ga). It keeps a close poetic relationship with the elements of nature, not only with subjects, but also with the materials used in its technical creation. Although traditional, this technique offers creative possibilities that can be constantly added to, especially with the use of colour. Indeed, this highly meticulous technique firstly requires the creation of the pigment (enogu) from crushed minerals and plants which once mixed with glue (nikawa) and water creates the paint, the raw material of Nihonga. Traditionally applied in several successive layers on mounted paper, this raw material, sometimes augmented by metal leaf, produces an impression of surprising transparency typical of Chen Yiching’s works.

  • CELLO IN THE SNOW - oil, enamel, glazed ceramic and canvas on panel, textural
    By Eleanor Aldrich
    Located in Signal Mountain, TN
    A cello is held up between the legs of its accompanying musician in a snowy landscape. Snow has collected on the protruding bits of Cello and on the tops of the musician's knees. Though we can't see the face of the musician, we see their bare arms, folding upwards, as if they have buried their face in their hands. -- Building on her previous show, Main Squeeze, which featured bodies pressing through the grid of lawn chairs, in “That Feeling When,” Aldrich expands the excess of materials to large figure paintings...

  • ON THE ICE - Textural figure painting - Oil and Enamel on Canvas Red, Polka-Dot
    By Eleanor Aldrich
    Located in Signal Mountain, TN
    In the series of paintings titled “That Feeling When,” Aldrich expands the excess of materials to large figure paintings and small, overfilled sculptures. Aldrich uses thick materials that protrude from the surface, reminding the viewer that the paintings are not only physical objects in themselves, but also create the illusion of the picture. The work employs a risky excess of material that borders on uncontrollable; becoming metaphoric for barely controlled femininity, the attraction and repulsion of materialism, and the body pressing against constraints. The figures in the paintings are seen from behind or have turned away. The viewer is put in a place of questioning whether they are a voyeur or a co-viewer with the figure of something deeper in the picture plane. The full body paintings of young women based on Nancy Drew...
