This exhibition – an informal documentation of the various flower presentations at national Floriades – is a combination of oil paintings by artists Ah Too Chew and Graham Marchant, presented alongside earth pastel drawings by Greg Hansell and delicate etchings by Edith Cowlishaw.
The artists each take their subject and inspiration from ‘A Sydney Flower Show’ and document and celebrate the extensive displays of flowering bulbs in the flamboyant and subtle traditions of the ‘Chelsea Flower Show’ and Canberra’s ‘Floriade’.
