An exquisite and carefully curated collection of surreal flowers in her Designing Flowers series, Mixed Media Artist Denise Cummings will be exhibiting her work at the 2018 SURTEX Licensing show in New York City held, at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, May 20-22, BOOTH 2741
Cummings' hopes to evoke an open dialogue about the symbolism found in flowers and how it relates to all walks of life. To do that she has combined Modern, Baroque, Surrealism, and Biomorphic art styles that inspire through the medium of paper mixed media. With homage to all things floral, Cummings’ work will uncover how each viewer is so much like the subject itself.
The mixed media artist then cultivates a surreal flower by reshaping images from various paper media images into biomorphic forms allowing the viewer to find symbolic representations of their lives and connection to flowers; presented as flowers found in horticulture and botany studies. She adds, “My flowers are not bound to illustrated predictability. For me, a metamorphosis happens, and a flower emerges. It speaks. My flowers are assembled to convey hidden messages within them. The viewer may subconsciously feel or see a correlation that reflects sexuality, wealth, beauty, style, or design. They’ll recognize it because they’ll see it in how they dress to make themselves beautiful just like flowers do.”
Her elegant flowers are for the premium and luxury goods markets whos clients demand designs that are intriguing, fashionable, modern, and witty.
