Chinese Ink Painting

About the Item

Los Angeles based gallery presents a new series of Chinese contemporary ink paintings ranging from the 1960’s to the current period. Paintings are by chinese artists who are respected in China, or in the world of Chinese art, some of whom are masters in their own right. This is a Chinese ink and wash Chinese landscape painting by a respected artist, Mr Liu Shumin (b. 1942 - 2017), who is a well known and respected artist in Guangdong, China, and recognized by esteemed institutions in China (National Academy of Painting, Central Literature and History Museum, Painting and Calligraphy Institute) as the representative of the South Guangdong Chinese Painting. It is said that his work "has a new style of contemporary ink and wash on the basis of the North and South, the integration of Chinese and Western, and the integration of ancient and modern Chinese and Western art, reflecting a skillful and atmospheric style". His work is recognized to have a personal style that is unique, "There is a perfect unity with reality, movement and static,.. it is good at turning thousands of mountains into a group of inks. In the brush, you can see the magnificent, broad, and profound dialogue with the universe and the aura of poetry". He was a professor at the Chinese Painting Department of the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts and a member of the Chinese Artists Association. In 1978, his work "Mao Mao's Poetry" was selected for the National Art Exhibition and he was invited to create a huge painting for the Henan Hall of the Great Hall of People in Beijing. In the 1990's, he was invited to exhibitions in the US and Hong Kong. His works are in the collection of the National Art Museum of China and other public institutions in China. About this painting: This is a "feng shui" painting, that showcases a series of red and bright mountains, symbolizing towering strength and vitality, with a beautiful waterfall, surrounded by lush pine forest. The mountains, water, sky signify strength, fluidity, peace and harmony. The tiny boats sails towards a safe harbor.

  • Etching - Cotswolds, England
    By Cuca Romley
    Located in Los Angeles, CA
    This is beautiful piece of the Cotswolds, England. Image 10 x 16 in. on paper with about 1.5 in. all around Signed, titled and editioned Unframed Gallery curates a series of original etchings from respected European artist Cuca Romley. Ms Romley is in her late 80's and currently based in Spain. She was trained at The École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts (ENSBA), a distinguished National School of Fine Arts in Paris, France. The artist won several noted awards for her art in her native Spain, and in Paris, France. She worked as an artist and also had a career in advertising, illustration and interior design, in Spain, France and New York. As an artist, she has had solo and group exhibitions first Paris, France, Monaco, Japan, Spain and the US. ETCHINGS Cuca Romley’s etchings of both famous and little places around the world are depicted with a remarkable attention to detail, a style that belies her sophisticated sense of line and color. These etchings capture a bygone era of a city in flux, and a snap shot of a classic image of a place. Each plate is etched with patience and a thoroughness reminiscence of the earlier days of engraving, in exquisite and fine detail. Romley creates her intricate design on the etching ground that covers the copper plate. After the acid has etched the lines into the copper plate she engraves the details into the plate with a buril until the image is completed. For each individual print a master printer must ink the plate and wipe the surface clean. The plate is placed on the bed of the press and the previously wet French Arches paper 100% cotton covering the plate to pass through the press, and that completes the printing process. After the printing ink has dried for a couple of days, the etching is ready for the hand coloring by the artist. There are often more than 30 colors in one of Romley’s images. Each print can take up to 6 hours to color; these colors impart a subtle transparent effect that compliments the delicacy of the line. Every etching in the limited edition is then signed and numbered in pencil by the artist. Limited pieces available. Image size specified.
