Bonsai, Japanese Gardens, Singapore – 18H x 24W inches soft pastels on paper. Framed size 27H x 33W”.
Bonsai, meaning ‘tray planting’ in Japanese, is the art of growing, pruning and shaping small plants in containers, to mimic the sculptural growth style of larger trees. The meditative practice of creating beautiful miniature tree-replicas adheres to traditions and principles.
Emphasis is on growing only the tree, whereas Chinese penjing, which influenced the art of Japanese Bonsai, imitates larger landscapes, for example, with trees and mountain scenes.
