Zao Wou-Ki Still-life Prints

Chinese, 1921-2013

Zao Wou-Ki was born in Beijing, China, on February 13, 1921, to a wealthy family descended from the Song Dynasty.

French-educated Chinese artist Lin Fengmian was Wou-Ki’s teacher at the China Academy of Art from 1935–41 and encouraged him to study abroad in Paris. Wou-Ki made the move in 1948 with a substantial amount of financial backing and later adopted France as his new home, remaining in the country, besides a few short trips abroad, until his death.

In Paris, Wou-Ki quickly joined a large postwar French art circle, composed of key writers, poets, painters and cultural figures, including Joan Miró, Pablo Picasso, Riopelle and Vieira da Silva, among others. This networking helped position himself at the top of the Lyrical Abstraction movement. By his mid-30s, Wou-Ki had decided to devote his artistic career to abstract painting that blended Eastern and Western stylistic traditions.

In 2011, Wou-Ki was referred to in art publications as the top-selling living Chinese artist. He died in Nyon, Switzerland, on April 9, 2013, at the age of 93.

"The 'anatomy' of the flower is too summary, melted in the flow of emotions. Yet this work could not be called non-objective, abstract. Their plastic masses are too full of life, too rich and juicy, too much of the earth." Dr. Alexander Borovsky, Chief Curator of Contemporary Art, State Russian Museum, St. Petersburg From 1995 until 2014, when Russia invaded Crimea (at which time cultural exchange largely came to an end) the Pushkin Gallery...

Toys in the Attic, 2016 Giclée print on Archival Cotton Paper. Acid and Lignin-free. The painting is a limited edition Giclée print, meticulously crafted on archival cotton paper, ensuring its durability and preserving the intricate details of the artwork. The composition takes us into the realm of imagination, depicting toys stored in an attic. Instead of representing the toys in a literal manner, the artist employs a delightful mix of geometric shapes and colors to stimulate our imagination and conjure up images of these playful objects. As we explore the artwork, we can discern a plethora of shapes carefully arranged to evoke the presence of toys. Circles, triangles, squares, and rectangles dominate the composition, both in regular and irregular forms. These shapes interact harmoniously, creating an abstract and fanciful representation of the toys that once brought joy to children. The artist's skillful use of colors enhances the whimsical atmosphere of the painting. Shades of green, orange, soft purple, soft pink, soft yellow, violet, black, and white come together, creating a captivating palette that infuses the artwork with vibrancy and energy. The colors evoke a sense of nostalgia and playfulness, transporting viewers to the imaginative world of childhood. Through the artist's masterful execution, the painting invites us to engage our imagination, allowing us to perceive the hidden toys within the abstract forms.

The painting is a limited edition Giclée print, expertly created on archival cotton paper, ensuring its longevity and preserving the intricate details of the artwork. The composition transports us to the depths of the ocean, where the artist uses a mesmerizing combination of geometric shapes and vibrant colors to represent the small animals, plants, and corals that reside in the deep sea. The backdrop of the painting is a captivating blue, symbolizing the vastness of the ocean. Against this blue sea, a multitude of figures, expertly rendered with geometric shapes, appear to be swimming and floating. The artist's imaginative use of shapes and colors invites the viewer's imagination to explore the hidden wonders of the underwater world. A vivid and dynamic palette of colors enhances the enchanting atmosphere of the painting. Shades of green, orange, soft purple, fuchsia, yellow, purple, white, and black come together, evoking the vibrant hues found in the marine ecosystem. These colors breathe life into the artwork, capturing the diversity and beauty of the underwater environment. Among the various figures, some are designed with a grated or textured appearance, adding depth and intricacy to the composition. This textured design creates a sense of movement and mimics the intricate patterns found in coral reefs and marine life.

Regular and irregular shapes coexist harmoniously, creating a visual tapestry that hints at the diversity and complexity of marine life. Under the Sea, 2018 Giclée print on Archival Cotton Paper.
