Golden Pine

Location : HONG KONG
Artist : Makoto Fujimura

“Golden Pine”, which measures 7 metres by 5 metres, is painted with the traditional technique of Nihonga (literally meaning "Japanese painting"), is site-specific work that enhances its environment in Oxford House; echoing the reflection of the trees from the adjacent plaza. Using mineral pigments from semi-precious stones, thousands of gold and silver leaves and hundred-year-old sumi ink, the painting seems to produce a golden light of its own to respond to the late afternoon sun that illuminates it.
