Tiger Chinese Scroll Painting – Silk Wall Art – Two Tigers Red Maple Butterfly

This tiger scroll painting holds the two tigers red maple butterfly theme the way a good poem holds its subject: lightly, and completely. The composition follows the classical sense of weight and counterweight. Among pieces of serene chinese wall decor, this is the quiet kind: balanced, calm, and easy to live with.

The butterfly settles naturally into the scene, balanced against the larger forms. Collectors will linger on the red maple, rendered here with unforced detail. Saturated hues give the picture presence from across the room. The artist lets the two tigers speak plainly, without ornament or excess. The overall impression is one of poise, hard to achieve and harder to fake.

As oriental wall hanging, it asks for nothing more than a good wall and soft light. It does not shout, and that is exactly its strength. It also makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who keeps classical art on their walls.
