New Frontiers of Nature: Last 10 Days for “Seeking New Landscapes” at Flowers Gallery

From 17th-century Dutch mastery to Constable and Turner’s stormy skies, to Ansel Adams’ monumental black-and-white nature photographs… The practice of depicting landscapes is one of the most deep-rooted and, at times, considered “stagnant or finished” genres in Western art history. However, Flowers Gallery, located along Mayfair’s prestigious gallery axis, demonstrates just how vibrant, flexible, and open to transformation this ancient tradition still is.

Bringing together works by twelve independent artists, the group exhibition titled “Seeking New Landscapes” seeks answers to the question “Where does landscape painting stand today?” With only 10 days left until its closing date of August 8, 2026, the selection offers viewers a chance to re-read nature.

Reality or Fiction? Rethinking Nature

Traditional landscape perception was often limited to rendering observed geography onto canvas. The 12 artists brought together by Flowers Gallery, however, do not see nature merely as winding rivers, green hills, or romantic sunsets. The works bring “spaces that are both real and constructed in the mind” side by side.

While navigating the fine line between abstraction and realism, the works in the exhibition trace the marks of urbanization, the climate crisis, personal memory, and imagination on nature. As the boundary between which landscape is real and which is fiction blurs, the image of nature rendered onto the canvas transforms into a personal map of the mind.

A Quiet Discovery in the Historic Fabric of Cork Street

Flowers Gallery’s exhibition space at 21 Cork Street stands in one of the most established veins of London’s gallery history. Rising right alongside giant institutions like Pace and Gagosian, this street offers art lovers an exceptionally concentrated and intimate viewing experience away from the noisy and crowded atmosphere of major museum exhibitions.

Representing refined voices from both the UK and internationally since the 1970s, Flowers Gallery also showcases the strong stylistic diversity of its own collection with this group selection.
