My Botany series are on display at Sotheby's in London. The image showing here is the one I made last year. The first four works from the same series were collected by Silver Trust for No.10 Downing Street in 2016. I developed the idea came from visual impact of the house itself when I visited. Black brick exterior wall with white frames of windows and doors, the famous black door (looks ancient, but apparently super high-tech!), and the checkered floor, etc etc... This Black and White theme was catalyst to combine silver and steel in one piece of object with my research on old botanical drawings from various historical houses in UK. More information here from @adrian_sassoon_gallery Showroom / The London Edit 28th September - 6 November 2020 Open daily 10.00am - 5.00pm We are delighted to welcome you to @sothebys New Bond Street galleries for a stunning display of works from our international artists. Visitors to the space will enter via a door dressed in a specially-created design by the celebrated Dutch artist Bouke de Vries, whose arresting ‘exploded’ artworks–all made from fragments of broken, antique ceramics–will be peppered throughout the display, providing leitmotif for the installation. De Vries’ creations will be offered alongside further striking ceramics, glass and silverware by leading makers, Kate Malone MBE, Hitomi Hosono, Felicity Aylieff, Hiroshi Suzuki, Michael Eden and Junko Mori. Their work will be presented alongside exceptional jewels, watches, fine art and design, selected by Sotheby’s specialists.
