Mitchell Anderson: Flower Paintings

Mitchell Anderson’s first solo exhibition in the United Kingdom, “Flower Paintings” will be on view through November 27 at Galerie Maria Bernheim. Exploring ideas of monochrome, the featured works have been made in reference to the works of other artists and painting practices. First and foremost, the show has been named for the famous series by Andy Warhol, though Anderson has opted to create monochromatic iterations of different flowers alluding to Warhol’s iconic hibiscus bloom. Viewers will also find direct references to names like Christopher Wool and Michel Majerus, as the artist appropriates familiar imagery in a commentary on the longstanding traditions of still life painting.
