Part of COASTAL COLLECTED — a six-part room series by June Hastings inspired by the warmth and charm of rooms near the water.
A dynamic Japanese Nihonga-inspired ink painting on paperboard depicting a spirited boar in motion beneath sweeping pine branches. Executed with expressive brushwork in sumi ink, the artist captures both the energy and character of the animal, a symbol of courage and determination in Japanese culture. The boar is rendered with confident, flowing strokes that convey movement and vitality, while the softly painted pine branches create a sense of place and balance within the composition. Mounted on thick paperboard, the painting bears a red artist's seal in the lower left corner.
An engaging example of Japanese animal painting that displays beautifully on its own or as part of a larger collection of Asian art.
COLLECTOR'S NOTE
The boar (inoshishi) occupies an important place in Japanese art and folklore, where it symbolizes courage, determination, and the ability to move forward despite obstacles. As one of the animals of the Japanese zodiac, the boar is often associated with strength of character and unwavering resolve.
What particularly attracted me to this painting is the sense of motion achieved with remarkably economical brushwork. The artist captures the animal at full stride, its body stretching across the composition while the pine branches above provide balance and context. The contrast between the dark, energetic brushstrokes of the boar and the lighter, more delicate treatment of the pine creates a pleasing visual tension that rewards repeated viewing. Though the artist remains unidentified, the work possesses the confident brush handling and appreciation of nature that make traditional Japanese animal paintings so appealing to collectors today.
