ART IN BLOOM 2020
Faces and florals, colour unbound
British artist Bettina Newbery’s 2020 series merges floral abstraction with portraiture, celebrating diverse expressions of modern femininity and masculinity. Each portrait pairs a poised face with deconstructed blooms, weaving delicate petals and vivid geometry into a single, harmonious, non-traditional portrait
Guided by nature’s principle that “nothing ever clashes”, Bettina lets colour moods shift freely - soft pastels beside neon brights, sensuous reds against bold contrasts - altering each portrait’s story. Fine lines, overlaid shapes, and semi-abstract pop energy invite viewers to explore identity through fragmented perception, while oil-rich textures pulse with depth and mystery.
Four standalone abstracted BLOOMS are painted in the same vibrant kaleidoscope - in delicate pastels, wildest neon brights and the most sensuous reds - marking a further vibrant step further into abstraction, energising any space with bold, introspective spirit.
