Chinese-born, British-based artist Wen Wu often builds meaning through small, uncanny substitutions and especially books, which she treats as a “universal language” and a carrier of knowledge and memory. In this oil painting, a book becomes architecture like a shelter, a burden, and a crown at once .. perhaps just a "human" tree ornament. 

A woman stands in quiet profile against a soft, earth-brown background, as if emerging from dusk. Her straight, dark hair cuts a clean line. She wears a fitted, sleeveless red dress patterned with swirling floral motifs. The color glows like lacquer in low light. Her eyes are closed as one hand rises to her forehead and the other hovers near her mouth, fingers long and lightly tense, suggesting prayer, listening, or self-protection. 

Balanced on her head is an open red book with its covers forming a small peaked “roof.” The hand gesture kind of looks like she bracing against weather, but also like choosing inwardness to guard what is known, what is felt, or what must be carried. 

The painting’s edges dissolve into warm haze, so the woman feels held inside a private atmosphere rather than a defined room. 

If the title "Tree" is a clue, the oil painting could be interpreted as a kind of rooted growth for learning as a living organism, branching inside the body, demanding balance and care. 

Wu, born in Qingdao in 1978, trained in painting at Tsinghua University and later completed an MA at London Metropolitan University. She has lived and worked in London for many years. That cross-geography education of Chinese academic training alongside a long London studio life can be felt in this work’s blend of disciplined realism and symbolic quiet of a figure rendered with tenderness, then gently “translated” into metaphor. 

The sitter is not publicly identified, which lets her stand for many women or anyone who has learned to make a refuge out of study, story, and the fragile act of holding one’s mind steady.

Figures for the month of June!!! Much like how I don’t pick these figures, you can’t pick your family. #ShangChi & #Wenwu show up with one of my favorite #Hottoys displays to date.

As someone whose father wasn’t always present, I really loved this movie. So these were a must. Rewatching the movie!

We (I) imagine traditional Chinese #literati as epitomes of civility #文, but at least when it comes to the late #Tang or #longninthcentury, I'm amazed at how deeply involved literati were with the military #武 and how frequently and extensively they wrote about it.
