A Yiming Chen, Chinese b.1951 - Entitled (At rest low tide); oil on canvas, signed lower left 'Y.M. Chen', numbered on the reverse. 1980s.
Chen Yiming, younger brother of the famous oil painter Chen Yifei, was born in Shanghai in December of 1951. Yiming's works are characteristic of the Shanghai style of oil painting. Most of his paintings are of women, however he has also painted figures and flowers, and incorporated traditional Chinese artifacts such as fans and musical instruments, especially the pipa (Chinese lute) into his works. Yiming's realistic paintings express powerful anecdotes of the old Shanghai. He has achieved recognition in China and at the international level for his craftsmanship in blending the culture of the Orient with western compositional techniques.
Very good condition,
