"Bjork’s latest video to the song Mutual Core is a crazy vision of an eruption used as a metaphor to show the intimacy between people. This Icelandic-born signer turned one more time to her home country, taking inspiration from the volcanic activity of the terrestrial of Iceland."

For his first limited edition portfolio, Nick Knight has chosen to release 15 images from his acclaimed publication 'Flora'. In fact both the intense new Rose photo/painting hybrids are on offer as well as the origional “Flora” works. The prints, representative of the arresting diversity in botany that Knight found so exciting when he first gained access to the herbarium in 1993, will be showcased for the first time in our Bruton Place headquarters in London's Mayfair.
The Nick Knight flowers — the subject of “Flora,” the flower photography which he developed 15 years ago — have grown ever more painterly and dramatic.
In fact, it is hard to define his current floral work in intense colors that appear to drip from the petals as “photography.” He explains how he took the initial image to a laboratory in Los Angeles where the pigments were treated to make them “run,” creating a scissored effect on the edge of the petals and drips of color from the big blooms.
“I have become a painter of a surface,” says Mr. Knight, referring to the new rose images as “Photo/Paintings.”
