+ OVERVIEW
The works by Tzu-chi Yeh are records of his daily life. Whether in his landscape or still life paintings, his realistic and subtle approach is filled with rich and personal feelings. The subjects of his works are concrete in existence yet having a metaphoric meaning to the realism. He is good at selecting sceneries and objects, and captures them in a unique charming quality that most people have ignored, reflecting his pursuit of the ideal life and spirit.
"Ginger Lily" is a mark of Yeh's childhood and love. He said, "Once, everyone's childhood had a brook, my childhood had one too. The brook was full of blossomed ginger lily. And it belongs to my hometown memories of Yuli, Hualien." This lot is Yeh's second piece of "Ginger Lily" painting, four years after his return and settling in Hualien. It is the largest piece among the "Ginger Lily" series that he has ever painted over the years.
