Christine So
Spring Ficus II (24 x 18 inch cyanotype painting)

2025

About the Item

This is a combination of painting and photography, the antique cyanotype process. The silhouette of the plant was first drawn, then painted not with ink or paint, but with light-sensitive photo emulsion. The blue and white pattern seen in each leaf is a sun print or lensless photograph of tiny plants laid on top of the painted area. The multiple-day process depends on being able to see while painting in a dark room so as to not expose the light-sensitive painted silhouette before it’s time. The artist named this ongoing series of botanical paintings which have a fine blue and white pattern “Delft Garden” after the Dutch painted porcelain. Unframed. The same size as Spring Ficus II and IV. Signed on the back. On 100% cotton watercolor paper with straight cut edges, not deckled edges. Free shipping to the United States.
