WORK: Moody, pretty flowers by Simone Web, at Curious Duke Gallery

 

Simone Webb has a new take on floriography; an 18th century craft where flowers were arranged or presented in ways that communicated encrypted messages. She modernises and reinterprets the art form. Photographs of posed flowers are painted over, scanned and then enhanced digitally to create emotive floral compositions. Her work is currently on view at the Curious Duke Gallery, 173 Whitecross Street, EC1Y 8JT till July 1 2017.
