Lot Essay

Born and based in Beijing, Song Yu is an contemporary Chinese artist best known for his still life paintings that merge the styles of the East and the West. Mesmerized by the masterpieces of Old Masters such as Willem Claesz Heda and Pieter Claesz, Song Yu adopted the vivacity and precision that is prevalent in classicism to meticulously create his lifelike paintings. He incorporates a twist of traditional Chinese elements into the subject of his oeuvre, enabling the viewer to discern the personal cultural heritage associated with the artist. Moreover, the harmonious tonality engenders an atmosphere of tranquility, allowing for a spiritual dialogue between the painting and the spectator.
