Conjuring the sensuality of the Rococo style and the painterly potency of her contemporaries such as Jenny Saville and Adrian Ghenie, Flora Yukhnovich has seen an impressive rise to the global stage, culminating in Victoria Miro announcing her representation in January 2021. Yukhnovich has opened dialogues with the masters of old, and her unique style is never more razor-sharp than in the present paintings on paper. Two elegant studies for her large-scale canvases that evoke the vaulted horizons of François Boucher and Tiepolo, these works demonstrate the dexterity of Yukhnovich's brushwork and her superlative sense of colour and space, making her one of the most exciting contemporary painters to emerge in recent years.
