If roses can speak, what kind of language will they speak? Is it the language of love? Or the language of hate? Wish I am a rose. Speaks of nothing and yet conveys so much...

One has heard of Impressionism, Surrealism, Cubism and Fauvism... why not Flowerism? This delightful first solo painting show by Ye Ruoshi will be an installation of more than 100 small (1 ft x 1 ft) oil paintings based on (you’ve guessed it!) flowers! But Ruoshi focuses on close-ups of their central interiors, seeking out the mysteries hidden in their sensual depths, and giving of her own interpretation through expressive distortion and imaginative colouration. In this way, her paintings transcend their floral origins to become gems of vibrant and sensual abstractions, although the effect of stepping directly into a gigantic bouquet when one enters the gallery should not be lost.
