Two harlequins lean in for a kiss in this framed figurative poster, signed and editioned by Chinese artist Zu Ming Ho, one with a face of solid black and a single blue tear under a striped jester's cap trimmed with gold bells, the other in pale blue with painted brows, red lips and a checkered hood. A white hand lifts the dark face from below, and small gems sparkle along the hood. Behind them the sky streams from green and turquoise to violet. As a student of oil painting at the Shanghai Drama Institute of Fine Arts, Zu Ming Ho developed a theatre-trained eye for costume and gesture, and his gentle touch softens the vivid color. The signature appears at lower left.
The black frame holds a deep charcoal mat with a thin gold inner line, which sets off the jewel tones nicely. It suits a living room, a library or a lounge that can carry a dramatic piece. Pair it with velvet, brass and dark wood, and let the greens and violets echo in cushions or glassware. At 40 by 47 inches it has the presence to anchor a wall above a sofa or a bar.
Signed Editioned Poster (192/200), ca. 1990-1999, 40 x 47 in (101.6 × 119.4 cm). Framed, with mat.
This is a signed poster print on paper, presented in a framed mat with rich, even color. It arrives framed and ready to hang.
Zu Ming Ho is a Chinese-born artist who trained in the western tradition, drawing early inspiration from Degas, Monet and Renoir. He graduated with honors from the Shanghai Drama Institute of Fine Arts, majoring in oil painting, and moved to the United States in 1987, where his first American exhibition took place in Los Angeles and led to national and international shows. His work pairs a gentle touch with vivid color and intricate line, drawing on the mystery and elegance of ancient China.
