About the Item

This is a beautiful contemporary Chinese ink painting by Wu Lan-Chiann. In 2010, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, curated an exhibition "Fresh Ink" that explored the landscape of contemporary Chinese ink paintings. Christie's and Sotheby's soon held private sales in recognition of this movement of what is essentially an ancient Chinese ink method, explored in new ways by its artists. One of the artists presented in Christie's Chinese ink events is Wu Lan-Chiann, a rare female painter recognized in the Chinese ink and brush method. ABOUT THIS WORK: Tranquil Night 2002 Ink and Colors on Paper 26 3/4 x 17 3/4 in (68 x 45 cm) "I created Tranquil Night with a fond memory in mind. There is a group of houses alongside a stream between the cities of Chu-Tung and Chung-Ling in northern Taiwan. This is where my grandmothers lived. It was a safe, comforting place for me. Growing-up, my family and I visited her many times. I played in the surrounding fields, and remember how quiet the night was. The type of place where crickets thrive, and you would hear a dog barking in the distance. It is a memory of home. " Framed: Hand made, solid walnut frame, and anti-glare protection. Painting can be viewed in Los Angeles by appointment only. Inquire about availability of other paintings. Framing available upon inquiry. For viewing outside Los Angeles, contact us to discuss. Buyer protection provided by 1stdibs. Price is negotiable. ABOUT THE ARTIST: Artist Wu Lan-Chiann studied painting with Lingnan School master Ou Haonian at the Chinese Culture University in Taipei and with American painter Arnold Mesches at New York University. While the highly regarded Lingnan school of Chinese painting is evident in her early work, Wu Lan-Chiann has emerged with her own distinctive style that she honed over the past two decades. With her decisive brushwork and profound technique in the Chinese ink method, the artist’s work is marked by a strong poetic narrative, forging a unique visual language drawing from both Eastern and Western influences. Museum of East Asian Art, Bath, United Kingdom, introduction to exhibition Nov – May 2016: “Reflections is the first UK solo exhibition of Wu Lan-Chiann, Chinese ink painting artist. This exhibit shows a selection of Wu Lan-Chiann’s work produced over the past twenty years. At the core of Wu Lan-Chiann’s work, is a deep personal contemplation of universal themes and values that connect people across time and place. While continuing a tradition that is centuries old, her paintings are distinctly contemporary both in concept and execution. Starting from a young age, she combined Asian and Western modes of representation into a personal style that is intensely poetic. Blending two very different painting traditions, she has emerged as an artist with an authentic style marked by decisive brushwork and delicate application of colour. In her recent work, Wu Lan-Chiann is interested in capturing the precious but fleeting moments of life through the depiction of free-floating petals and leaves. She sees a comparison between the rhythm of nature and the human cycle of life. Her work captures special moments and at the same time represents the invariable and eternal cycle of life and nature.” Born and raised in Taiwan, artist Wu Lan-Chiann received her BFA -with highest honors- from the Chinese Culture University in Taipei, Taiwan, and holds a MA from New York University (School of Art and Art Education). Her work is acquired by notable private collectors in Europe, Asia and the USA. She had a well-received solo exhibition in the UK between November 2015 and May 2016, and her painting Before the Storm (2015) was added to the permanent collection of Kansas City’s Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, a museum renowned for its extensive Asian art holdings.
