From London with Love is an intimate drawing series by Shizico Yi, composed of en plein air studies capturing quiet, private moments between the artist and the city of London. Drawn in beloved corners of the capital, each work reflects a pause in movement—a moment of attention, affection, and reflection.
This painting features historic sculptures in from of Buckingham Palace; Winged Victory, standing atop a globe with Constancy and Courage beneath her, in front of Buckingham Palace, looking toward The Mall where the nation flags line-up into the end of Trafalgar Square.
Over the past two decades, Shizico has honed her drawing practice through sustained study of the Old Masters in museums and galleries. Gradually, London—its architecture, atmosphere, and quiet, everyday poetry—has found its way into her line. These drawings are, in essence, love letters to the city: tributes to place intertwined with personal memory and shared moments with loved ones.
Each scene captures not only a view, but a memory—honoured and elevated through the deliberate use of ink and gold leaf on paper.
This series sits beautifully alongside Shizico Yi’s broader Memory Landscape and Constant Gardener projects, offering a quieter, more immediate register of observation—where drawing becomes both devotion and diary.

About the Artist:
Dr. Shizico Yi is a London-based multidisciplinary artist working across painting, installation, and film. Her practice explores themes of loss, repetition, the everyday, and the formation of memory, weaving personal narratives into broader social and human contexts. Drawing on a background in design and film, Yi’s work moves fluidly between mediums, allowing lived experience, place, and time to shape each project.
Yi holds a PhD in Fine Art from the University of East London (2017), an MFA, and a BA in Womenswear from the University of the Arts London. Her practice is grounded in both rigorous research and embodied making.
Alongside her studio practice, Yi works en plein air from spring through autumn, returning to studio-based work during the winter months. This cyclical approach allows seasonality, landscape, and environment to inform the scale, materiality, and emotional tenor of her work.
Her work has been exhibited internationally in the UK, South Korea, and Italy, and is held in private collections across the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom.
In addition to her visual art practice, Yi is an award-winning filmmaker. She was the Winner of the Women Filmmakers: Best Shorts Competition in Los Angeles (2013) and has served as a guest jury member for the 14th–16th Annual New York City Independent Film Festival (2022–2024). She is also the founder and curator of no barking aRt.
