More about this artwork

This painting by Konan Tanigami showcases a beautifully detailed scene of potted plants, demonstrating the artist’s skill in Japanese woodblock art. The painting depicts two types of plants: Maranta and Manettia.On the left side of the image, Maranta leaves are illustrated with their distinctive, broad and vibrantly patterned leaves in green and white. The focus on their texture and natural variegation is intricate and eye-catching, representing the plant's common name, prayer plant, which refers to its leaves that fold together like hands in prayer at dusk.Adjacent on the right, the Manettia plant is displayed with its vivid, tubular red flowers that cascade elegantly over the edge of a terracotta pot. These flowers are small, with red petals flaring out into a bright yellow interior, creating a striking contrast against the green foliage. The plant is shown in full bloom, intertwining among itself with lush green leaves supporting the lively flowers.The composition, with the simplicity of the background and the clear, delicate lines used to define each element of the plants, emphasizes the subjects. Additionally, the soft color palette enhances the naturalistic depiction of the plants, inviting viewers to appreciate the serene beauty of nature and the meticulous craftsmanship of Japanese woodblock printing.
