Ginger Lily

作品賞析

SHEN Jian-Long’s Ginger Lily was painted on fine Japanese silk to highlight the elegance and beauty of the plant. Lush leaves and stems sprout in all directions, accentuating the beauty of the blooming white flowers with yellow hearts. The key focus of this artwork is a red dragonfly that seemed to have caught the scene of the blossoms and rested gently on the tip of a leaf. SHEN Jian-Long employs extremely fine brushwork to depict the form of ginger lily, producing an artwork that reminds us of still life studies created by classical artists that incorporated dynamism within static elements.
