This remarkable wall work edition by Paul Morrison features the dramatically enlarged silhouette of a fern, rendered in bold black against a stark white wall. The oversized botanical form dominates the room, transforming the architectural space into a surreal, hyper-natural landscape. Characteristic of Morrison’s approach, the work manipulates scale and contrast to disrupt conventional relationships between figure and ground, nature and artifice. The title – taken from a genus of orchids – adds a further layer of botanical specificity, underscoring the artist’s ongoing engagement with plant imagery as both symbol and structure.
