About this artwork
Grace Ainley painted 'Moon & Bamboo' having spent time studying in Japan. The painting is modern in its simplicity but draws upon traditional themes in Japanese art.
Grace used oil on canvas to create texture in the night sky. The moon incorporates layers of metallic (gold-coloured) leaf, creating an iridescent effect.
While the painting has impact, the viewer sees something new as the moon changes with the light.

« I challenge the notion that art must be easily categorized, explained and defined. Instead I invite the viewer to embrace the beauty in ambiguity, imperfection and simplicity. »
