Sue Wyllie | Cypripaphyllum, 2023

from £275.00

Woodblock

Media Dimensions: 40 x 40 cm

Image Dimensions: 14 x 13 cm

Edition of 20

Framed/unframed

Sue Wyllie’s current body of work involves making pseudo-botanical prints of orchids which explore the ideal of the beautiful within inherent ugliness. But these are not representations of orchids in their natural guise these are orchids tainted with human flesh, human ideals, human desires. It is as if they are seen through a liminal lens, where the imagination wrestles with the factual to kindle new forms of being. Nor are these orchids placed in a natural environment, they emerge from the darkness of the imagination as ugly, beautiful, sexual, compelling mutant forms. Drawing upon her love of orchids, and the many dark stories that embellish our ideas of these compelling flowers, Wyllie engineers strange and impossible forms that emerge from the darkest shadows. Wyllie's work has been shown throughout the UK including at Bankside Gallery where she has work in the Summer show and 'Small but Mighty'. She has also shown in The Royal West of England Academy Open Exhibition, the RBSA Print Prize in Birmingham, and a number of other shows including 'Through Line' in Newton Abbot with CAMP. She has had work included in the previous three years of Woolwich Print Show where in 2021 she won the City and Guilds London Art School Prize. She has recently been elected as a student member of the Royal Society of Painters and Printmakers as a recipient of the Gwen May Award. For further information please visit suewyllie.com
