Painted on May 25, 1962, 25.05.62 belongs to Zao Wou-Ki’s mature lyrical abstraction period. By this stage, the artist had fully developed his signature visual language: free of figurative subjects, the canvas unfolds as layered washes of colour and gestural marks that echo the spirit of Chinese shan shui painting. The original work is oil on canvas, measuring 200 × 162 cm — a large-scale piece designed to command presence. The painting is signed “无极 ZAO” lower right, with the title, date and dimensions inscribed on the reverse.
Hand-Painted Reproduction Focus
Our Dafen studio artists recreate this work as a hand-painted oil-on-canvas reproduction. Attention is given to the transparency of layered glazes, the soft transition between colour zones, and the natural rhythm of gestural brushwork that defines Zao Wou-Ki’s mature style. We preserve the open, atmospheric quality of the original rather than overdefining details. This is a handcrafted interpretation, not the original artwork, authorised print or museum-certified piece.
Styling & Space Matching
Given the large original format, this reproduction works well as a statement piece in spacious living rooms, loft interiors, gallery-style hallways or executive offices. It pairs naturally with plain neutral walls — off-white, warm grey or soft taupe — that allow the painting’s colour atmosphere to dominate. Its meditative, expansive mood complements minimalist furnishings and low-saturation decor, and can be displayed alongside other abstract works for a curated gallery wall.
