About the artwork

Simple composition characterizes Yi's works. He uses black, gray and white in his "Silhouette of Lotus" series. A lotus leaf rises in the water, and waves in a gentle breeze. At a distance it looks like a traditional Chinese ink-wash painting; on closer inspection, it is clear that the detail of water reflecting sunlight can only be achieved by oil.

About the artist

Born in Jiangsu in 1968, internationally acclaimed Chinese painter Yizhou graduated from the Huaiyin Normal Academy in 1990 with a Major in Fine Arts and continued on to receive a postgraduate with specialization in oil painting from the Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts in 2002. Yi relies on his deep Chinese roots and upbringing to express himself, with a style derived from many years of studying calligraphy and being inspired by classic Chinese landscapes. The lotus is one of his favourite themes. The award-winning artist has exhibited the world over, including China, Germany, France and the USA.
