Top 5 plant happenings in May

March 6, 2015|Events

It is a particularly exciting month to be a plant art enthusiast.

 

Natures, Natural and Unnatural and The Production Line of Happiness

Two interesting things to see at Whitechapel Gallery at the moment: Natures, Natural and Unnatural is curated by Turner Prize nominated painter Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, who has selected works inspired by nature from the V-A-C Collection, Moscow. You get to see Hockney’s 30 Sunflowers, Natalia Goncharova’s Still life With Flowers, Peter Doig’s Green Trees, Gary Hume’s Garden Painting #2 and others all in one room. Also showing is an exhibition by US photographer Christopher Williams: The Production Line of Happiness, which includes a whole range of different subjects with no wall plates until you get to his rather interesting 1989 studies of botanical specimens, Angola to Vietnam (see picture below).

Chelsea Flower Show

It’s that time of year again. Let’s hope it’s not too crowded and the people in front of you at the show gardens are not too tall. Time to find out what’s trending in garden design and to take a look at the colour and poise of the current super models on the cultivar catwalk. Runs 19-23.
