Flora Yukhnovich @ Victoria Miro

Flora Yukhnovich is acclaimed for paintings that fluctuate between abstraction and figuration, and transcend painterly traditions to fuse high art with popular culture and intellect with intuition. While in the past she has adopted the language of Rococo, dynamically reimagining aspects of works by eighteenth-century artists such as Tiepolo, Boucher, Lancret and Watteau, new paintings in Thirst Trap draw upon various depictions of the Roman goddess Venus in mythology, art history and contemporary culture.
