About Okay Bouquet No 2

At once classic and contemporary, this painting by Jahn Page is part of a series dedicated to ‘an examination of life through the filter of flowers.’ On a tondo (circular canvas) a finely detailed plastic white swan becomes the centrepiece for a wild floral arrangement of sunny yellow flowers and grasses. A single jet-black marking—one of Page’s signature ‘Positive Gestures’ is intended to mimic the graceful curve of the swan’s head.

“This is a lawn ornament a few doors down from my daughter’s daycare and it had wildflowers amongst it. The position of the Positive Gesture in this piece acts as a continuation of the void on the back of the planter.” Jahn Page
