Born into a family of artists, Mo Ni was influenced by her parents’ artistic practice from a young age. After graduating from Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts, she migrated from Chengdu to teach in prestigious universities, including those in Singapore and Philadelphia.
Exhibiting over thirty of her latest works in the theme of ‘Orchid – Passion – Soul of the Orchid’ reveals Mo Ni’s mastery in ink and her sensitive explorations of colour. Focusing on the Nanyang orchids, orchids unique to our tropical Southeast Asian climate, Mo Ni exhibits their vibrant and voluptuous nature in her art.
Emblematic of sexuality and love, Mo Ni has vividly portrayed the beauty and energy of the Orchid flower. Sensually displaying the petals of the orchid with passionate pinks and pastel yellows, the flowers retain the sentiment of a passionate lovers’ caress, as the orchid intertwines itself with the natural world. Her depiction of the flower goes beyond its beauty, allowing us to gleam into the soul of the orchid.
