Grace II By Simone Webb

Product Description

Simone Webb is contemporary British artist whose work blends the digital with the painterly, creating images of flowers, suspended in space as they bloom & decay. Recalling the floral compositions of Dutch Renaissance masters, Webb’s work offers a contemporary take on the still-life: where the Northern European tradition reflected the growing urbanism of the 1600s, Webb’s pieces mirror our increasing shift towards the digital. A single, soft-pink rose takes centre stage for ‘ Grace II’, its dark green leaves spreading out beneath its delicate petals against an ice-white background. Hazy paint daubs gesture towards the flowers’ state of decay, fading out to create a sense of descent. Hanging the flora in timeless space, Webb challenges our expectations of creeping entropy, transforming slow decline into an instant of immense beauty.
