If Nature is an artist, she works at a very advanced level. All that asymmetry, scattered tumbling shapes and apparent chaos…but when we stand back, everything clicks into place in a most unconventional way, in patterns almost beyond our comprehension – and suddenly we’re staring at breath-catching beauty.
Simone Lourenço really sees this. Her work is an organically complex mix of chaos and order, lines and swirls, the kind you see in plant life. Into the mix she’s worked such diverse elements as Indian miniature painting and Japanese flower design.
Intrigued? Her work is currently on exhibition at the Overtones art gallery in Los Angeles, until June 21st – so go and take a closer look. (Just don’t forget to stand back as well.)
