Description
This is a simple little painting and that's what I love about it, its simplicity. A red lacquer bowl and chop sticks.
Minimalist. But simple doesn't mean boring.
The red and black are dynamic together. The shiny black on the outside of the bowl reflects the tables marbled surface. Strong lighting creates a cast shadow which again, is in contrast to the table top.
The linear shape of the chop sticks creates a please contrast to the circular bowl.
From Wikipedia:
"Lacquer vessels, boxes and trays have a coiled or woven bamboo-strip base often mixed with horsehair, and the thitsee may be mixed with ashes or sawdust to form a putty-like substance called thayo which can be sculpted. The object is coated layer upon layer with thitsee and thayo to make a smooth surface, polished and engraved with intricate designs, commonly using red, green and yellow colors on a red or black background. Shwezawa is a distinctive form in its use of gold leaf to fill in the designs on a black background."
Simple? Yes, but I find this work very interesting. I hope you do too.
