From the series The Valley of Flowers
Artist Alex Davis captures a moment of sublime, gravity-defying beauty in this immersive large-scale sculpture. A massive bunch of wild Himalayan flowers is rendered in a radiant sunburst form, appearing to levitate in mid-air.
The work masterfully explores the balance between opposing forces. The edgy, raw character of industrial stainless steel provides a stark contrast to the delicate, silken colours of the floral forms. Bathed in the translucent pigments of autumn hues, the sculpture creates a dynamic harmony between the hardness of the material and the organic softness of its subject.
At approximately 12 feet in diameter, the installation is a powerful yet ethereal celebration of nature, inviting viewers into its monumental and immersive presence. This piece is a unique and central work in Davis's new series, The Valley of Flowers.
