About the Item

Bellflower is a unique painting by contemporary artist Chen Yiching. The painting is made with mineral pigments, gold and silver leaf on Japanese paper mounted on wood, dimensions are 20 × 50 cm (7.9 × 19.7 in). The artwork is signed, sold unframed and comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist. 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.
