Roq La Rue is pleased to present Hannah Flowers highly anticipated second solo show Two Moons in a Violet Sky, after her sold-out inaugural show at Roq La Rue in 2022. Born in Tasmania but currently based in Scotland, Flowers paintings depict a dark wonderland of mythic symbolism and allegorical grotesques. These often harken back to original European fairytales and images that were much grimmer and darker than the sanitized versions we have today. Flowers work also references the 19th-century Demi-Monde's appreciation of nighttime opulence, carnal infatuations, and dalliances with underground and occult temptations. This, combined with her lush florals and maiden images creates a sort of Macabre Nouveau aesthetic.

For this show, the artist has expanded her visual vocabulary and brought in medieval themes to the dark feminine imagery she works within some of her pieces, with regal ladies caring for various familiars, from cats to dragons, with decorative embellishments reminiscent of medieval manuscript illustrations and tapestries. While some of the work has taken a lighter, dreamier tone, other paintings contain her traditional fantastical and embrace of the dark and beautifully nightmarish. 

Fantastical, haunting, beautifully rendered, and lavishly painted, these paintings are definitely for more adventurous art aficionados, but those who do delve into the artist's world will be richly rewarded. Thirteen new paintings and seven drawings will be on display for this show.
