BLOOMS IMAGINED 2021
Pure shapes, heightened colour
Renowned British artist Bettina Newbery unveils Blooms Imagined, her 2021 series of semi-abstract paintings that re-envision the garden’s quiet drama. Inspired by winter-flowering camellias - antique-white petals circling primrose-yellow centres - the works distil nature’s forms into pure shapes and heightened colour.
Spherical, burgundy-coloured blooms takes centre stage, their opulent hues softened by contrasting shades of pink and purple. This stunning floral abstract, reminiscent of a dahlia, adds a touch of modern expressionism to any space.
Delicate, finely drawn layers reveal new sensations with every glance, while pared-down monochromes and velvety blooms stand in striking contrast to glossy evergreen foliage. Bettina’s innovative palettes and subtle textures transform familiar flowers into captivating abstract compositions that balance elegance, intrigue, and a deep appreciation for nature’s fleeting beauty.
