I hope you all had a great easter, here it’s still freezing cold! Here are a few work in progress shots of my latest painting which is going to be in my show in London this coming month. It’s a version of a mural I painted in wynwood district Miami back in 2011. Acrylic and gold leaf on paper approx A3. This one is dedicated to Brian Pyke xP1100648_EMAP1100641_EMA P1100643_EMAP1100638_EMA P1100636_EMA P1100634_EMA

FLUX: a new exhibition in London.

| Florence EMA Blanchard

Starting next month (April 18) is my new exhibition in collaboration with british artist Jo Peel at Ben Oakley gallery 9 Turnpin Lane, Greenwich Market London SE10. If you are in town please come by! x

FLUX – a new exhibition by Jo Peel and Florence Blanchard – features visions of despairing urban landmarks and aims to warn us about the imminent loss of ‘taken for granted’ urban icons of our current society. Peel looks at the high street, its days numbered as stalwarts of our cultural landscape are closed down and re-imagined to service the changing needs of our society, while Blanchard imagines the cities of tomorrow with a twist of surrealism and humour. Both artists will show new works on canvas and paper.Untitled
