2022

About the Item

Dancing Cranes is a unique painting by contemporary artist Lumi Mizutani. The painting is made with India ink, Japanese pigments and silver leaf on Japanese cardboard, dimensions are 27.3 × 24.2 cm (10.7 × 9.5 in). Dimensions of the framed artwork are 32.4 x 29.3 cm (12.7 x 11.5 in). The artwork is signed, sold framed and comes with a certificate of authenticity. Two red-crowned cranes are depicted in this miniature painting, which was done in coloured pigments and Indian ink. With long necks and legs that give them a very graceful appearance, they are among the largest birds in the world. They are unusual in that they are white and black with a small red portion on top of the head, giving them the Chinese name "vermilion-topped cranes." Lumi Mizutani pays homage to Japan and its wonderful landscapes especially those at Higashiyama-ku in Kyoto and Ueno in Tokyo. The artist places a lot of emphasis on nature and trees in her works of art. Lumi Mizutani works on the alchemy between different elements she uses: paper, ink and water. Through the magic play of the materials, Lumi invites the viewer to enter the world of her artworks full of emotion. The artist juggles with the codes by using traditional techniques, on the one hand, and permanently reinventing with her own techniques, on the other.

    Oil, Flashe & Gouache on cardboard My first experience with painting occurred when I stood in front of Barnett Newman’s “Vir Heroicus Sublimis” at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. Never had I encountered such an extraordinary feeling of freedom and wonder. I had found my place in the world. While attending the School of Visual Arts I fed off The Abstract Expressionist movement, looking closely at the work of Franz Kline, Motherwell and Joan Mitchell. It was during my senior year that I began to focus on the color and spacial work of Blinky Palermo...
