ABOUT FLOWERS ON THE ROOFTOP
Flowers on the Rooftop ( c.2022 ) are produced with a rich and diverse palette on roofing paper, these works capture the essence of life and decay of seemingly endless species of flowers. They mark a natural evolution in York’s own practice, and his engagement with the tension between realism and abstraction. York said he wants the works “to feel like the desires and futility we get when we try to transplant nature in urban environments.”
