Flora Yukhnovich: Bacchanalia

"This beautiful, scholarly publication, full of stunning imagery, gives in-depth insight into one of the most exciting and rigorous painters working today – from her thoughts on paintings to the myriad of references in her studio." -- Katy Hessel, author of The Story of Art without Men Discover the remarkable creative vision of critically acclaimed British painter Flora Yukhnovich in a new publication documenting the artist’s latest work Taking inspiration from art-historical styles, from French Rococo and Italian Baroque to Abstract Expression, Flora Yukhnovich’s celebrated work addresses the dynamics of power inherent in each of these contexts while exploring materiality and process through cascading and swirling forms that flow between representation and abstraction. Addressing the consumerism, moral panic, and Internet pile-ons of the present day, her latest work is inspired by bacchanalia, capturing revelry and hedonism as it tips into abstraction. Accompanying Yukhnovich’s solo exhibition at Hauser & Wirth Downtown Los Angeles, this carefully designed exhibition catalogue captures the energy, dynamism, and intense corporeality of the artist’s new body of work through an extensive selection of illustrations, accompanied by an enlightening text by curator Eleanor Nairne as well as documentation of Yukhnovich’s research-based studio practice, with written reflections by the artist.
