Sunset Song was created entirely en plein air, painted directly under the fading light of late summer and autumn sunsets—often continuing into moonlit hours. Working without artificial light, Shizico Yi embraced near-darkness with absolute presence, relying solely on instinct, sensory memory, and decades of intimate knowledge of her hand-mixed pigments. Each work is guided by a focused exploration of a restrained colour palette.
The palette of this painting responds to the intensified sunset skies of Northern Europe in 2025—a year marked by the peak of Solar Cycle 25. Increased solar activity produced heightened atmospheric phenomena, resulting in unusually vivid sunset colours and auroral effects visible near the artist’s studio. These conditions inform the painting’s radiant chromatic energy.
Painted through dusk into night, the work was only fully revealed the following morning, transforming each canvas into a ritual of suspense and discovery. This process rekindled a sense of renewal in Yi’s practice—celebrating intuition, trust, and devotion to craft.
Sunset Song is a meditation on seeing without looking. The poetic contrast between glowing skies and velvety silhouettes of lime trees creates a profound stillness. This work stands as one of the most resonant achievements of the series—a quiet triumph of vision and artistic evolution.
In the Artist’s Words:
“These new abstract paintings push impressionism toward Matisse—then move closer to Howard Hodgkin. I paint not the scene, but the emotional vibration behind colour and gesture. Between those two masters is my playground.”
— Shizico Yi, 2025

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.
