About the Artwork
Hide-and-Seek Beneath the Cherry Tree by Bongmin Shim
"A playful moment in a blossoming paradise." This stunning vertical landscape captures the peak of spring, with cherry trees in full bloom filling the canvas with soft pinks and whites. In the center of a tranquil lake, a small island hosts a secret game of hide-and-seek beneath a grand tree. The floating paper boat adds a touch of surrealism, suggesting a journey through memories. Shim’s detailed brushwork creates a rich, textured canopy of flowers, inviting the viewer to get lost in this beautiful, imaginary garden.
