Yiching Chen
Solitude by Chen Yiching - Contemporary nihonga painting, forest, green trees

2020

About the Item

Solitude is a unique painting by contemporary artist Yiching Chen. The painting is made with mineral pigments and silver leaf on Japanese paper mounted on wood, dimensions are 70 × 100 cm (27.6 × 39.4 in). Dimensions of the framed artwork (white shadow box) are 75 x 105 cm (29.5 x 41.3 in). The artwork is signed, sold framed and comes with a certificate of authenticity. 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.
