Four Persimmons: Blessings of Harmony & Calm | Original Still Life Oil Painting

A treasured still life work by WeicaGallery exclusive artist Zhouping LAI, this painting features four persimmons rendered with exquisite hyper-realist techniques, capturing the translucent texture and subtle light changes of the fruit in stunning detail. Rejecting cluttered backgrounds, the artist uses a sophisticated Morandi gray-purple tone as the backdrop, with a smooth, mirror-like light gray surface that clearly reflects the persimmons’ outlines. This creates a minimalist atmosphere of "quiet depth and peaceful years", allowing the understated elegance of Eastern aesthetics to shine through without distracting colors.

The details are breathtaking: the persimmons’ peachy-orange skin transitions seamlessly from pale apricot to warm tangerine, with delicate, lifelike texture and subtle veins. The dry, withered calyxes are rendered with precise detail, making the fruit appear almost tangible. The four persimmons are arranged in a natural, staggered composition—plump, abundant, and perfectly balanced—blending the vitality of fresh fruit with the serenity of still life. Framed with double matting of light beige linen and a slim natural wood outer frame, it is warm and elegant, perfectly complementing the artwork’s sophisticated gray tones and showcasing the exquisite brushwork of this one-of-a-kind hand-painted piece.
