Fatal Flowers

Opening: 27 June 2026 at 11:00 - 27 June 2026

Participating: Thirza Schaap

“I seduce the viewer with interesting shapes and a delicate colour palette. When I've captured their attention, the images unravel.”
Thirza Schaap has created a collection of botanically inspired painted works for her Fatal Flowers series. In these works, Schaap selects simple palettes of two or three colours to create images that blur the boundaries between flora and the human form. Engaging with the inherent human inclination to pareidolia, Schaap introduces movement and energy into these seemingly simple florals, creating the impression of someone camouflaged within the flowers, or emergent from the garden of the imagination. The resultant forms are fantastical and intriguing, hinting at what lies beneath the surface of what at first seems simple, inviting the viewer to question what they hold to be true and whether human senses make for reliable witnesses.
