Five Persimmons Hanging: The Five Blessings | Original Still Life Oil Painting

A collector’s piece from WeicaGallery exclusive artist Guilan LAI’s still life series, this persimmon painting features a "hanging branch with clustered fruit" composition, with five plump persimmons dangling elegantly from gnarled branches in a balanced, abundant arrangement. Unlike the cool blue-gray backdrop of its companion piece, this work uses a soft misty apricot background, blending harmoniously with the persimmons’ crimson hue and the branches’ deep brown tones. The warm, mellow color palette evokes the comfort of an autumn sun, exuding the refined tranquility of an Eastern pastoral scene.

Executed with hyper-realist brushwork, every detail is vividly rendered: the persimmons’ skins are smooth and luminous, with clearly defined calyxes, creating a lifelike texture that seems tangible. The winding, rugged branches—painted with bold, powerful lines—contrast beautifully with the fresh, ripe fruit, embodying the Eastern aesthetic of "harmony between withered and thriving". Framed in a vintage walnut solid wood frame with a beige linen mat and double card matting, the circular artwork is perfectly presented, capturing the timeless Eastern philosophy of "heaven is round, earth is square". This one-of-a-kind hand-painted piece exudes exceptional quality.
