Artist Peony yip from Hong Kong does not wear a pseudonym for nothing The White Deer, by which many of her illustrations are known. In her paintings, she seeks to demonstrate the connection between man and nature, and this was especially successful in a series of unusual minimalist portraits called Wildlife … Pencil-drawn portraits of young girls by Peony Yip are complemented by images of animals and birds painted in red directly over the finished portraits. Moreover, such a form does not spoil the finished image at all, but complements it, bringing a standard illustration of a new meaning, mood, and philosophical implication. Not the connection between generations, to whose images other authors refer, but the relationship between the world of people and animals, which are also very important for our society.
Thus, the artist associates the girls depicted in the portraits with tigers and lions, roe deer and deer, owls and ostriches, hares and wolves. In each of us lives this or that wild or domestic animal, which reminds of itself either by a character trait, or by habits, habits, actions, or even in appearance there is something that gives us the right to judge the close connection of a person with the world nature. And if some comparisons for people may be offensive, then the minimalist portraits of the Chinese artist The White Deer do not belong to this category at all.
In addition to the Wildlife series, the artist has other illustrations on the theme of man and nature. You can see them on the Peony Yip website, aka The White Deer.
