Course in Art & Cultural Appreciation
In Chinese Art, the Four Gentlemen or Four Noble ones, “Si Junzi 四君子” in Chinese, refer to the plum blossom (梅), cymbidium orchid (兰), bamboo (竹), and the chrysanthemum (菊).
.
These Four Gentlemen have been depicted in Chinese painting for more than a thousand year for their refined beauty, and also for their significance in symbolising human virtues of righteousness, purity, humility and perseverance among the ancient Chinese literati.
.
Sarana admires and seeks to explore the richness of Chinese cultural arts. This time, she reinterprets the Four Gentlemen in Pastel Nagomi Art style. Each flora motif takes patience and attentiveness to botanical structure in order to express each of their own beauty.
