Storytelling Reimagined: A Visual Feast

Flowers Gallery

Flowers Gallery, established in London in 1970 by Angela Flowers, is one of the longest-standing international contemporary art galleries. With a legacy spanning over five decades, the gallery has been a platform for more than 50 international artists and artist’s estates, working with a wide range of media. It has presented over 900 exhibitions across its global locations, supporting the production of artist’s publications and the presentation of works by gallery artists in art fairs, public galleries, museums, and institutions worldwide.

The gallery's programme includes major annual summer survey shows and renowned recurring exhibitions such as Artist of the Day and Small is Beautiful, which have formed an important high-profile platform for many emerging and under-recognised contemporary artists. The gallery has also been instrumental in fostering relationships with artists' families and foundations, announcing its representation of the estates of Patrick Heron, Eduardo Paolozzi, and Richard Smith in 2019.

Flowers Gallery has hosted a variety of notable exhibitions, showcasing the work of a diverse range of artists. Some of the artists represented by the gallery include Peter Howson, Derek Boshier, David Hepher, Glenys Barton, Glen Baxter, John Bellany, Michael Benson, George Blacklock, Boomoon, and Boyd & Evans. Each of these artists offers unique insights into their creative processes and perspectives, contributing to the rich tapestry of contemporary art.

In 1988, the gallery added an East End venue, Flowers East, in Hackney, which was the largest commercial gallery space in London at the time. The gallery expanded further in 1991, taking an 18,000 square foot building across the road in a former leather factory. The two vast exhibition spaces allowed the opportunity to put on large, acclaimed shows including British Abstract Art - Part 1, Painting, co-curated with Bryan Robertson with works by many of the leading living abstract painters.

In 2000, the gallery opened on Cork Street, Mayfair, and in 2002 it moved from Hackney to Kingsland Road, Shoreditch, to 12,000 square feet spread over three floors of a 19th-century warehouse. After several years of running an office and exhibiting at fairs in Asia, the gallery opened a space in central Hong Kong in 2020, the year the gallery celebrated its 50th Anniversary with 50 x 50 and 50 Years, exhibitions in its two London galleries showcasing the breadth of the artists and programming developed over the last five decades.

Flowers Gallery stands as a testament to the enduring power of art and its ability to inspire, challenge, and engage. Its commitment to showcasing a diverse range of contemporary art, fostering relationships with artists and institutions, and maintaining a dynamic exhibition programme has solidified its status as a beacon of contemporary art. As it looks to the future, Flowers Gallery will undoubtedly continue to be a vital part of the global art scene, championing the work of artists and contributing to the global discourse on contemporary art.
