Description
Dans ce livre, Gillian Wheeler (UK) – fondatrice du Covent Garden Academy of Flowers (au centre de Londres) – se montre une artiste imaginative, qui sait manier la palette riche et les possibilités infinies que les fleurs lui offrent. Ses compositions florales, parfois au service d’autres arts, sont sans aucun doute de bon goût, somptueuses et élégantes dans un style classique.
The exact words of Gillian Wheeler (UK): “Flowers are the most amazing and beautiful creations. Nothing on earth can match their colours, textures and fragrances. Flowers, singly or massed, have a vibrant life that along with foliage gives the designer an incomparable paint box of colour and an endless series of sculptural forms.”
Gillian Wheeler also uses her designs to bring out the best in other arts such as the ballet or emphasizes textures and shapes in the delicate paper art of husband and artistic sparring partner Alan.
This book testifies of the imaginative interaction between different arts – floral art and paper art. Beautiful synergy, symbolized in the elegant ampersand in the title of this book.
