SHEN QIN (B. 1958)
Watching Clouds
A set of two scrolls, mounted and framed
Ink and colour on paper
One scroll measures 26 x 176 cm. (10 ¼ x 69 ¼ in.)
One scroll measures 26 x 70 cm. (10 ¼ x 27 ½ in.)
Executed in 2015
For Shen, the practice of painting with ink is a state of mind. The use of muted, monochromatic palette is one of the most striking features of his work, depicting flowers, plants and stilllife against the background of ponds, pavilions or imaginary spaces, broadly contoured with pared-down and minimalistic lines – scenes that recall the ethereal gardens described in classical Chinese poetry. By incorporating elements of design, Shen creates images imbued with a sense of quietness that resemble black-and-white film stills: light and airiness permeate his paintings and evoke reverie.
