NEW YORK, NY.- Rehs Contemporary announces its exhibition, Bloom, a vibrant exploration of flowers in contemporary art. This exhibition brings together a diverse group of artists who use floral themes to explore life, love, and identity.

With Bloom, flowers are not merely aesthetic objects but rich symbols that reflect human emotions, societal concerns, and personal expression. The exhibition features both paintings and sculptures that highlight how contemporary artists use flowers to comment on the complexity of the world around us.

Through the lens of an artist, flowers represent more than just beauty—they are metaphors for life, death, and transformation. From vibrant depictions of blooming flowers symbolizing vitality and renewal to more subtle representations of wilting petals, the works featured will challenge the viewer to consider the delicate balance between growth and decay.

Bloom also showcases the stunning variety of ways in which contemporary artists manipulate floral imagery in their paintings and sculptures. Whether through hyper-realistic depictions, abstract representations, or sculptural re-imaginings, these works invite the viewer to experience flowers in new and exciting ways. The exhibition brings together a wide range of artistic approaches, emphasizing how flowers continue to inspire and challenge artists today.
