About the Item

'Danse' (Dance) is a hinged four-panel screen covered with stretched paper on the front. The surface is hand-painted with mineral pigments and depicts a floral composition. Plants with long stems spread out from the left to the right of the painting, standing out against a cream background. The white and brown colours and the falling leaves give the whole piece an autumnal feel. The presence of red berries and, above all, the dragonflies with their colourful wings breathe life into this composition and underline the survival of living things despite nature's slumber as winter approaches. A blue fabric is stretched over the wooden frame at the back of the screen. Metal plaques, also featuring a floral motif, are positioned on the edges of the screen's frame. Each panel measures H 88 x L 47 x D 1.5 cm (H 34.6 x L 18.5 x D 0.6 in.). When the folding screen is fully opened, it measures H 88 x L 188 x D 1.5 cm (H 34.6 x L 74 x D 0.6 in.). CHEN Yiching (Taiwan, 1975), a specialist in Nihonga, a traditional form of Japanese painting, uses all the resources of this delicate aesthetic language to express her poetry and translate her perceptive, emotional experience of nature. Nihonga is a technique that originated in China during the Tang dynasty and had such an influence on Japanese art that, after numerous Japanese innovations in the 16th and 17th centuries, it became a traditional art form. Mastering this technique requires many years of practice and exceptional expertise in using natural pigments, mother-of-pearl, and gold and silver leaf. Since 2007, CHEN Yiching has lived and worked in Paris (France), where she runs Nihonga workshops at the Guimet Museum (Musée National des Arts Asiatiques-Guimet).
