George Tsui
"Mirror Mirror", George Tsui, Original Oil on Canvas, 47x19 in., Figurative

2004

About the Item

George Tsui's imagination is filled with Chinese themes. The idea of creating his own brand of classic romanticism, unrestrained by conventional reality, was deeply attractive to him. His art models always dressed in chic and ravishing beautiful silk and satin gowns from the artist’s own collection of 20 authentic imperial dresses and posed in romantic, luxurious surroundings with a variety of antiques, artifacts, jewelry, and exotic landscapes and birds… George doesn’t pretend paint the reality but he tries to draws us into a fantasy where the signs of subterfuge are plain to see, as the artist describes: these pieces “employ a dual technique of painting and sculpture that is traditionally ornate yet abstract in the most modern sense".
