Jiusi / 九思

Landscapes at heart.
Nature in every brushstroke.

Jiusi is a Chinese painter whose main focus is landscape painting. Flowers and birds are also an important part of her work.

Her practice includes xieyi, which gives expression to a subject through freely handled brushwork, and mogu, in which forms emerge from washes of colour. Mountains, garden paths, pavilions and cranes recur throughout the portfolio.

Some works are signed Zhao Chen (赵晨), another name used by Jiusi.

This collection brings together works from across her practice, including paintings that are no longer held by the artist.
