«For the artist, the color, the bouquet, the tinkling of the spoon on the saucer, are things in the highest degree. He stops at the quality of the sound or the form. He returns to it constantly and is enchanted with it.» J-P. Sartre
A floral composition, a complex fragrance, or even a total work of art — each is an arrangement of distinct, independently existing species, materials, or artistic perspectives that can come together to form a bouquet. A spectrum of techniques, symbolism, meaning, emotion, and context can create unique blends of color and form that exist solely in this specific combination. The artists featured in this exhibition work with diverse approaches and ideas, yet all converge on the theme of the plant world, a subject that continues to flourish in every era, yielding new, contemporary symbols. Through their individual expressions, they explore and reinterpret the natural world, each contribution adding depth to the collective work.
