About the Item
Botanica is a collection of portraits of flowers photographed in black and white then subtly coloured to enhance and transform them. This series symbolises a moment of peaceful solitude in a world that is becoming increasingly complex, creating a quiet space away from the chaos of everyday life, like a secret garden the artist is quietly cultivating. The portraits feel ethereal through their fresh new hues, not natural enough to be the mirror of our reality, but animated by a powerful breath of new life.
For almost three decades, Australian-born artist Vee Speers has crafted a style of her own in portraiture, recognizable at first sight. In her Paris studio where she has been based since the early 1990s, she dresses, styles, and metamorphoses her subjects, leaving nothing to chance. From her learning years alongside her father, she retains a preference for black and white silver prints, which she then digitalizes to partially colorize. As a result, her portraits are timeless and liminal, as if caught between reality and fantasy, transience and permanence. Threading a coherent narrative throughout her nine series, Vee Speers builds a mythology of her own, exploring femininity, childhood and its mutations.
