Sun Yitian Full Moon, 2025
Acrylic on wooden panel
55,4 x 67,6 x 7 cm (framed)
A luminous work, Full Moon constructs an mysterious scene of interior and exterior spaces. A silhouetted figure—recalling the artist herself—appears to stand between curtain and window. Another person may be obscured by the curtain on the left, revealing only a single ear and a skock of hair. Outside a landscape with a glowing full moon may be real or a backdrop.
The work alludes to various passages: the curtains with its pattern of zebras on a red background recalls a childhood room the figure may have outgrown; the two women in an undefined, liminal space, neither clearly inside nor outside, sheltered behind the curtain; the figure on the left perhaps a future self who is still, or already, hidden from view; a path in the darkened landscape clearly leading away into the unknown. Full Moon does not resolve any of these ambiguities but its glow beckons.
