SUPERBOUQUET is a solo exhibition of new work by Simon Degroot featuring paintings on canvas that alternate between expressionistic painterly floral bouquets and pixelated paintings of the same works repeated.
Degroot draws upon a Dutch history of still life flower painting and the associated conspicious display of wealth in order to engage with a contemporary consumer culture, where displays of wealth and plenty incite a promise and sense of the attainable — while at the same time bringing into sharp focus the divide beteween the haves and have nots.
