Bloomin' Warhol

A new side of Andy Warhol will be explored this month at the Eykyn Maclean gallery, New York. The gallery will showcase a selection of the sixties god's lesser known work, the Flowers series.  The iconic artist took a change in direction from his famous referencing of commercial branding in 1964 and produced a series of floral prints inspired by a photograph of seven hibiscus flowers by Patricia Caulfield.  The prints are varying sizes and feature different techniques, 'the exhibition looks to highlight the “nuances of [their] development”.'  The brightly coloured flowers create interesting contrasts on their dimer coloured backgrounds and put together create an impressive collage. These stylish prints are a breath of fresh air from the usual iconic Warhol images we're bombarded with.
