    The 'Sunlit' series is an exploration of the colour yellow and its healing effect to the ones who were impacted by grief. This is one of the artist, Shizico Yi's personal favourites for its subtle changing of the golden tones when viewing in different time of the day. The pictorial language in this series pays homage to Japanese Woodblock prints. In her latest series, titled 'Prayers,' Shizico employs various type of Dahlias as symbols of peace. Dahlias, which bloom in autumn, brighten up the garden amidst the early winter chill, symbolizing regeneration and hope for life. The name of the painting is a reference to a poem by Du Fu (712-770 AD), one of his poignant poems that portrays the landscape in a war zone in his hometown. After nature reclaims the places where people once lived. As an artist working in the studio, there's a sense of helplessness in the face of such changing time. Through these paintings in Prayer series, Shizico aims to convey her heartfelt prayers in times like these. It's also a form of self-reflection on the role of the artist in society. *Delivery Worldwide, only £18 lowest flat rate shipping charge, guarantee shipping by Royal Mail with End to End International Tracking.
