One Off-Hand-Painted Artist’s Proof — Golden Glow Summer Night

Golden Glow Summer Night is a large, hand-painted Artist’s Proof, uniquely finished with original oil paints and hand-applied gold leaf on premium Giclée fine art paper.
This is a true one-of-one—the only hand-painted gold leaf proof of this image ever created.
A striking work of art, it brings a transformative, luminous presence to any interior and offers collectors a rare opportunity to own an authentically unique piece by Shizico Yi.

About the Painting

This piece emerges from Shizico Yi’s ongoing Summer Bloom Series, a project painted en plein air every summer in her garden—this particular work created late into a warm August night. Moonlight lit the herbaceous border as Shizico painted, capturing a moment where night, nature, and memory converge.

Shizico began gardening in 2015 to build a healing sanctuary for her elderly Labrador. After her dog Favor passed away, the garden became both a memorial and an enduring source of creative renewal.
This painting reflects that lineage of care—where grief and light coexist, and where tending the land becomes both art practice and emotional grounding.

Technique & Materials

It took Shizico more than a year to perfect the intricate method of applying gold leaf onto Giclée paper—a notoriously difficult process due to air bubbles and surface tension. The flawless execution of this Artist’s Proof demonstrates both technical mastery and devotion to craft.

Gold leaf, one of her signature materials, functions as a visual metaphor for warmth, time, illumination, and memory. In this series, it becomes a bridge between night and light, past and present, grounding the work in the artist’s exploration of space, time, and emotional landscapes.

This piece sits within Shizico’s celebrated Memory Landscape practice—where real places become portals into internal worlds of remembrance and imagination.
