{"product_id":"withered-lotus-weiqiming-2002","title":"Withered Lotus","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe artwork \"Withered Lotus\" by Wei Qiming is a captivating oil on canvas piece that falls under the category of still life. At first glance, the painting appears to be a chaotic mess of dark colors, with no discernible subject matter. However, upon closer inspection, the viewer can make out the faint outline of a lotus flower, its petals wilted and brown. The composition is loose and expressive, with bold brushstrokes and heavy texture giving the piece a sense of energy and movement. The dominant colors are shades of brown and black, with hints of yellow and green peeking through the darkness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTechnically, this painting is notable for its use of impasto, with thick layers of paint creating a raised, three-dimensional effect. The brushstrokes are confident and expressive, with visible ridges and grooves adding to the overall texture of the piece. The artist's approach is loose and spontaneous, with a focus on capturing the emotional essence of the subject rather than its literal representation. This approach gives the painting a sense of immediacy and intimacy, as if the viewer is experiencing the artist's thoughts and feelings firsthand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDespite its somber tone, \"Withered Lotus\" is a deeply beautiful and evocative piece. The viewer can't help but feel a sense of melancholy and nostalgia when gazing upon the wilted flower, its beauty lost to time and decay. And yet, there is also a sense of hope and renewal, as if the flower's withering is a necessary step towards rebirth and regeneration. This paradox is at the heart of the painting's emotional power, making it a compelling addition to any art collection. For collectors who appreciate expressive, emotionally charged works, \"Withered Lotus\" is sure to be a standout piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eArtwork Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wei Qiming (魏启鸣)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Withered Lotus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2002\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oil on canvas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 42 x 57 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unique — 1 of 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent, professionally preserved\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Paint For Heart","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53460057424151,"sku":"ORI-WQM-2002-LOTUS-001","price":10663.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0986\/8263\/4519\/files\/8a59436a-6bb5-4816-a557-d70cf3d53486.jpg?v=1780220007","url":"https:\/\/paintforheart.com\/products\/withered-lotus-weiqiming-2002","provider":"Paint For Heart","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
