Spring comes early to Saatchi Gallery with the exhibition Flowers – Flora in Contemporary Art & Culture. This extensive and magnificent exhibition spans two floors and over nine major gallery spaces. Featuring amazing large-scale installations, original artworks, photography, fashion, archival objects, and graphic design to explore the ongoing influence of flowers on creativity and human expression.
Flowers have long inspired artists, writers, and creatives. This exhibition examines how flowers are depicted in art, not only for their inherent beauty but also as powerful symbols of love, birth, death, hope, and human emotion. Deeply woven into our myths and cultural language, flowers carry meanings that resonate across time — from the romance of the rose to the purity of the lily. They appear at key moments in life and evoke visions of paradise and utopia. Across nine galleries, Flowers pays homage to the flower’s perennial attraction and reminds us of the extraordinary endurance of flora as an inspiring subject in art.
Exhibition supported by Cazenove Capital and Buccellati.
