“Flowers may seem too mundane to justify its continued existence in contemporary art, yet we must have all felt that primal urge to paint flowers at some point in our lives. Birthdays, weddings, hospital beds, and funerals. Their simple beauty accompanies us in celebration and in grief, and we are instinctively drawn to the familiar petals.
Flowers have persisted throughout the history of art. From the lotus flowers of ancient Egypt to medieval tapestries, from Botticelli and Rachel Ruysch to O’Keeffe and Warhol, they have been a reliable muse to those that felt the need to create. They have been painted, printed, sculpted, and carved, by the hands of toddlers and masters alike. They are as evocative as they are ubiquitous, and artists have painted flowers to symbolize life and death, beauty and filth, Madonna and whore.”
This exhibition features several artists and their works all paying homage to flowers. Paintings and sculptures, figurative and abstract, come together in a bouquet of styles to continue this age-old conversation.

“꽃이라는 주제는 현대 미술에서 지속되기에는 너무 단순하다고 생각될 수도 있지만 누구나 한번쯤은 살면서 꽃을 그리고 싶은 원초적인 충동을 느꼈을 것이다. 생일, 결혼식, 병상, 장례식 등 꽃의 소박한 아름다움은 기쁨과 슬픔 속에서 우리를 동반하고, 우리는 본능적으로 꽃잎의 익숙함에 이끌리게 된다. 꽃은 미술사의 기점부터 지금까지 꾸준히 우리와 함께 하였다. 고대 이집트의 연꽃부터 중세 태피스트리, 보티첼리와 라헬 라위스, 그리고 조지아 오키프와 앤디 워홀에 이르기까지 꽃은 창작을 갈망하는 이들에게 믿음직한 뮤즈로써 존재하였고, 어린 아이와 거장들의 손을 차별없이 거치며 그려지고, 인쇄되고 조각되었다. 꽃은 편재하는 만큼 상징성 또한 다양하여 작품에 따라서 삶과 죽음, 아름다움과 추함, 성녀와 창녀를 암시하는 변모를 거듭한다.”
본 전시는 여러 작가들과 작품들이 모여 함께 꽃을 향한 오마주를 표하는 자리입니다. 구상, 추상, 회화 그리고 조각 등 다양한 작품들을 통해 이 오래된 꽃에 대한 대화의 장을 이어가고자 합니다.
