Counting Stars

Counting Stars offers a serene, poetic exploration of balance and quiet wonder. Set against a muted, slate-grey background, a minimalist figure clad in a striking magenta garment bends gracefully backward, tilting up toward an unseen sky. The composition relies on the elegant curation of negative space and fluid geometric shapes, constructed entirely from layered PVC vinyl fabrics. Every curve and angle is traced with crisp white Gore Tenara stitching, highlighting the structural boundaries of the form and lending an architectural precision to a deeply reflective, dreamlike gesture.

This mixed media artwork is composed of colourful PVC vinyl fabric, stitched together with rot-proof Gore Tenara clear sewing thread.

This work comes with a solid black wood frame, a matboard, and real glass.

The artwork size is 21cm (W) x 29.7cm (H) x 0.2cm (D)
The external frame size is 32.8cm (W) x 45.2cm (H) x 2cm (D).

Specialising in abstract-figurative acrylics, Yiwei Shi explores the human form through a lens of joyful distortion. Based in Sydney, Shi is known for his ability to distil complex movement into decisive, two-dimensional visions.

His portfolio oscillates between two compelling modes: a serene minimalism characterised by flat colour and simple backgrounds, and a detailed, pattern-rich aesthetic often seen in his dynamic sports illustrations. By omitting intricate details in one piece and celebrating them in the next, Shi highlights the diverse textures of human life. His work is unified by his celebration of the "extraordinary posture," reshaped to amplify drama and spark a connection with the viewer. Each canvas is a testament to his belief that beauty and humour are found in every gesture.
