(18 7⁄8 x 25 5⁄8 in.)Signed, with one seal of the artist Post lot text Born in Nanjing in 1958, Shen Qin entered the Jiangsu Institute of Chinese Painting in 1978 to study traditional painting. During the New Wave movement in the mid-1980s, became an influential ink artist alongside Gu Wenda. He serves as a resident artist at the Jiangsu Institute of Chinese Painting following a career in graphic and cinematic production design. For Shen, the practice of painting with ink is a state of mind. The use of a muted, monochromatic palette is one of the most striking features of his work, depicting flowers, plants and still-life against a background of ponds, pavilions or imaginary spaces, broadly contoured with pared-down and minimalistic lines - scenes that recall the ethereal gardens of 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.
