About the painting:
Jardin d'Hiver Series is Shizico Yi's latest collection, created in her winter studio while savouring for the summer left behind. Rather than replicating natural colour, Yi limits the palette to three tones chosen intuitively on the day of painting, heightening contrast, mood, and dreamlike intensity. Gold leaf functions as a metaphoric threshold between time and presence, sealing memory into a timeless visual realm.
This one-of-a-kind artwork reflects Yi’s signature exploration of memory, seasonality, and materiality, offering collectors a deeply personal and contemplative contemporary landscape.

Reflecting on the vibrant days spent painting en plein air, Shizico revisits the Dahlias Collection in her garden during the summer. This series is a joyful tribute to those cherished moments, through painting, she transforms her studio into a winter garden—bringing summer to life on canvas, based on the images of her summer garden the year before.

To Shizico, dahlias symbolise resilience and longevity. Their long blooming season, stretching from summer into the early winter chill, brings much-needed colour to the herbaceous border of her garden during the duller months.

Shizico is also exploring the medium of impasto in this series which enhances the vivid brushstrokes with a three-dimensional surface. By sculpting the florals into textured forms, the paintings further capture the energy and vibrancy of summer on canvas.

Colour in this series departs from naturalistic representation. Yi limits each painting to a restrained palette of three tones, chosen intuitively in response to mood. This intentional restriction pushes contrast, harmony, and tonal depth, lending the works a dreamlike quality.

Gold leaf once again functions as a conceptual threshold—gilding the canvas to mark the separation between memory and presence, time and suspension—sealing summer into a timeless realm.
