Turbulence (17th Century Flowers),  is a solo exhibition featuring selected ‘Flower Works’ from two new bodies of work by artist and art historian Aliki Braine. The exhibition is presented by Hannah Payne Art, from 24 April – 31July, 2025 at Worton Kitchen Garden, Oxfordshire.

The exhibition presents selected works from two new bodies of work by the artist, Turbulence (after...) and Twelve Months of the Year, which explore the materiality and cultural history embedded in iconic Dutch 17th-century flower still life paintings.

Braine’s ‘Flower Works’ aim to challenge traditional interpretations of the Western European art canon through a contemporary lens. Braine employs colour reproductions of Dutch flower still life paintings found in old exhibition catalogues and wall calendars, reimagining these historical images to question our relationship with their commodified reproduction and historical context.
