In his Hyper Blooms collection, Alex Davis reimagines the delicate flower as a monumental and powerful sculpture, exploring an aesthetic that is at once urban, restless, brutal, and glamorous. The series is defined by its large-scale floral forms that challenge conventional perceptions of nature.
These sculptures are defined by their sheer enormity and a brash, assertive presence. By magnifying a blossom to an architectural scale, Davis subverts its traditional association with fragility, transforming it into an object of imposing strength and fantastical beauty. The works command their space, balancing their immense size with a surprisingly delicate aesthetic sensibility.
The choice of material is central to this vision. Each sculpture is meticulously crafted from industrial, outdoor-grade 304 stainless steel, a material synonymous with permanence and strength. This raw, brutal foundation is then polished to a high gloss and bathed in subtle, transparent pigments. This "dash of color" doesn't conceal the steel but enhances it, creating a luminous, glamorous surface that brings the blossoms to life.
The collection represents a perfect synthesis of high-tech fabrication and meticulous handcraftsmanship. The Hyper Blooms are not merely representations of nature; they are powerful, limited-edition objects of design art that magically transform any setting they inhabit through their unique fusion of the organic and the industrial.
