Florals emerge through gesture, repetition, and abstraction, Confetti In Bloom, Pink Flowers on Purple, and the Forgotten Island Florals each offering a different interpretation of what it means to hold something living on a surface. Alongside them, Ricky Burrows' Line Drawn Flowers I, II, III bring a contrasting clarity, playful, immediate, and deeply human, with visible traces of the studio embedded in each work.
Waves move through the collection as both subject and structure. In Waves and across the surrounding paintings, color behaves like water, layering, shifting, interacting, creating rhythm through relationship rather than form. There is a sense of light here, of motion, of something just out of reach but fully felt.
Together, these works sit somewhere between landscape and memory, between observation and instinct. They are about noticing how color meets color, how a mark becomes a gesture, how something fleeting can be held, briefly, in paint.
A collection rooted in exploration, held together by a shared sense of brightness and curiosity, and one of my favorite bodies of work ever to hang in the gallery. - Kristen
