This 1979 square-format watercolor miniature (35cm×35cm) redefines opulent aesthetics through China's national flower, the peony.
Aqueous Alchemy: Washes of carmine red, gamboge yellow, and mineral blue over a base layer evoke peonies half-veiled in mist – a dreamy poetic realm.
Miniature Universe: The 35cm compact scale distills scholarly painting charm. Scroll-inspired mounting transforms it into a portable New Chinese art piece.
Created in 1979 – the dawn of China's Reform Era – Geng Yukun reinvented tradition through peonies:
"I paint not the peony's form, but the hope of rebirth. That touch of gold is spring awakening beneath frozen soil."
Bridging Tastes: Exhibited at the 1980 "Beijing Spring Art Salon," it ignited debates on "modernizing traditional symbols."
Versatile Placement (Entryway/Tea Table/Cabinet/Vanity): Golden peonies welcome fortune (paired with black walnut frame + cloud-pattern mat). Compact 35cm size fits anywhere – viewing it day or night brings springtime serenity.
Emotional Value: Gold elements increase perceived warmth by 37% (color psychology report available).
Harmonizing Effect: Watercolor's translucency softens modern materials' harshness, creating balanced energy flow.
