About the exhibition: 

“In Bloom: Flowers in Contemporary Art” explores contemporary approaches to the timeless floral theme. While artists have been depicting flowers for thousands of years, this exhibition explores a range of contemporary artistic approaches to the subject. Featuring paintings, sculptures, installations, and video, the artworks vary dramatically, from naturalistic to abstract, and from playful to contemplative. “In Bloom” features the work of David Flores, DABSMYLA, Francesca Gabbiani and Eddie Ruscha, Simonette David Jackson, Jasmyn Marie, Analia Saban, Kim Schoen, and Tiffanie Turner, with new works by most artists. The exhibition is on view through February 15, 2026.
