These are truly magical paintings. I have been to see them four times so far (I drop by if I'm seeing something else at the Ashmolean). Their homage to the Dutch masters is so wonderful to see, the colour blends are truly fantastic. There is a dynamic quality and a harmony of style that draws me in every time; and the way that room reeks of oil paint! So much reminds me of the work of Thérèse Oulton, who had a small exhibition here in the 1980s (and also just down the road at Oxford's MOMA - a similar sized room I visited many times). I hope these works get a wider audience.
I'm an artist myself. In my humble opinion, her work is lovely. I'm Brazilian, and I live in São Paulo. I also learned a lot by observing, other artists. When I was a kid, my focal point was the works of many artists at MASP, Museum de arte de São Paulo ( São Paulo's Art Museum). When I travel I go to every museum I can, in England, Italy, France, the USA... 😊
I’d like to spend an hour or two with Flora, and just chat about horror films. Raw, and Teeth, are two of my favourite horrors of this century. If you’re out their Flora, I highly recommend May (2000), Alice, Sweet Alice (1976), Black Christmas (1974), Suspiria (1977), and Exte (2007). Thanks for making videos eh.
Although the paintings themselves are definitely attractive, I find the artist's overuse of elitist terminology to be off-putting. Art need not be that cerebral nor classist.
I have an appreciation for her work,especially since her inspiration has a base in classic pieces that have stood the test of time and the plumb line for beauty. What gets under my skin is the bs rambling that along the line of her woke indoctrination. I also took note of her acknowledging the processes of the old masters. The thing is, I don't believe that she possesses the discipline or the patient for the process to create art as compelling. The sad truth is that art dealers will sell her as the "new" whatever for a big buck.

Wow, Absolutely love these paintings. Wish I was in the UK so I could go and see them.
Thanks. Maybe you can get to see Flora's work if it goes on tour sometime.
Beautiful! Such energy and movement coming from them...
