Contemporary Botanicals
Botanicals have long been an area of interest for artists. Particularly before the invention of photography when botanical illustrations were the only way of recording the world’s many species of plant life. These drawings captured the form, colour and details of plant species. Today, artists are building upon the traditions of botanical illustrations through contemporary representation and mediums. Artworks by John Benfer, Renata Buziak, Fiona Foley, Lesa Hepburn, Nicola Moss and Judy Watson.
