Internationally acclaimed artist Ana Tzarev will present an array of her vibrant, large-scale
works at the Saatchi Gallery from 17th May 2012. Alongside a selection of canvases, Tzarev
will also reveal a magnificent new sculpture that will fill the gallery space. At over three
metres high and weighing an impressive 45 stone, Love is an edition of three dedicated to
the form, colour and symbolic meaning of flowers.
Due to the sculpture’s complexity, Tzarev appointed the help of Thailand’s leading yacht
building company, deeming them the only artisans with the capability to bring her ambitious
concept into fruition. It took a team of 20 specialists almost three months to finish the work
carving the foam and fibreglass structure intricately by hand.
Tzarev’s debut London exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery will display an array of her flower-themed
works in which Love will be the centerpiece. Tzarev’s flower series emulates the work of a diverse
range of celebrated artists from the Old Masters to Impressionist and Post-Impressionist painters who,
like Tzarev, have been captivated by the symbolism and fragility of flowers.
Inspired by sources as diverse as the indigenous plants of Africa, the exotic tropical flowers of Hawaii,
the bustling flower markets of Asia and the imperial gardens of Russia, Tzarev captures blooms from across the globe.
Love will be part of Ana Tzarev: Exposed which will open at the Saatchi Gallery from 17th May
and will run simultaneously with the nearby Chelsea Flower Show.
On the evening of Thursday, April 12th, the Ana Tzarev Gallery partnered with the Consulate General of Turkey and the World Council of the People for the United Nations to present the continuation of the exhibit, “A Children’s Dialogue in the Language of Flowers”. The show was hosted by the Consulate General of Turkey, and held in honor of National Sovereignty and Children’s Day, which is celebrated on April 23rd. The eager children who participated in Ana Tzarev gallery’s workshop for “A Children’s Dialogue in the Language of Flowers” were invited to attend the event with their families. The children, dressed in their finest, admired the works of their fellow peers that hung alongside Ana Tzarev’s vibrant floral paintings. The exhibit will be on view through the 24th of April at the Consulate General of Turkey.
Ana Tzarev will bring a blaze of color to Paris when she shows a selection of her vibrant giant flower paintings at the Cité Internationale des Arts, from April 10 to May 9. Painted in her unmistakable style, this series of vibrant, large-scale paintings is inspired by the artist's life long passion for flowers. Tzarev's newest body of work, abundant with intense color and rich surface texture, demonstrates the artist's unique ability to capture visual beauty and command powerful resonance in her imagery.
