Further details

Yang Shanshen, deeply influenced by his teachers Gao Qifeng and the Lingnan master Gao Jianfu, had a profound passion for painting and excelled in capturing the essence of tigers. His depictions of these majestic creatures carried an ancient and profound Japanese charm. In his masterpiece, Tiger Den, Yang portrays a fierce tiger alongside two vulnerable cubs amidst deep mountains and dense forests. Employing delicate brushstrokes, he captures a fleeting moment of the tigers’ movement and utilizes a blend of ink, water, and white powder to bring to life the realistic texture of their fur. Yang believed that achieving lifelike representation in animal painting was paramount, as he sought to convey the inner emotions of his subjects through colours, ink, and lines.

This painting was painted in 1949 on a grand scale, symbolizing a rare early collaboration between two esteemed Lingnan masters. The current owner acquired this piece from Shuheng, to whom the painting was dedicated, in 1993. Liu Shuheng, a Chinese medicine practitioner from Hong Kong, initially commissioned Zhao Shao’ang to paint a tiger for him, but Zhao instead recommended Yang Shanshen for the task. Yang regarded this painting as one of his finest works on the subject, where the imposing presence of the formidable tiger contrasts with the tender vulnerability and warmth emanating from the cubs. Yang felt immense joy upon receiving a photograph of the painting from the current collector and subsequently journeyed to Malaysia to see the painting again four decades after its completion.
