Show explores humanity’s bond with plant life
Vision Art Platform has opened “Botanicals,” a new group exhibition curated by Gary Sangster at its London gallery, bringing together contemporary artists whose works examine the complex and symbiotic relationship between humanity and plant life.
The exhibition, which opened on July 16, will remain on view through Aug. 14 at the gallery’s space on Mortimer Street.
Featuring works by Ackroyd & Harvey, Benjamin Jones, Rosemary Laing, Wendy McMurdo, Eamon O’Kane and Deirdre O’Mahony, the exhibition approaches plants not simply as aesthetic elements of nature but as vital and constantly evolving forces that have shaped human civilization.
Through photography, painting, drawing and moving image, “Botanicals” encourages visitors to reconsider the intersections of nature, culture, ecology and human intervention.
