Through the lens of Dutch Golden Age floral painting, Rhys Edwards examines the uneasy relationship between images and the realities they seem to depict. His oil paintings maintain the surface of realism, but do not commit to a single register of the real. Instead, they draw together flowers and objects painted from life, found photographs, images from public museum collections, fragments of AI-generated paintings, and elements shaped by imagination. The result is a body of work that attempts to trace the slippage between different frames of reality, collapsing them into pictorial abyss.
