Wallflowers

February 6 - March 20, 2021

Throughout the history of art, certain subjects have resonated strongly with artists and audiences alike. Ranging from mythological deities to the food we eat, these revisited trends reveal art's most popular muses, with flowers at the forefront. Rooted in ancient art and still prevalent today, depictions of blossoms, blooms, and other botanical elements can be found in many of the most significant art movements, whether carved into clay or starring in a still-life.

Wallflowers, a contemporary spin on this timeless theme, explores how the region's top artists interpret this subject, as each artist’s styles are as unique and personal as their intent. The exhibition includes paintings, works on paper, photography, and sculpture.
