Huxley-Parlour are delighted to announce Flora’s Cloak, a group exhibition in their Wiltshire gallery that brings together works that provide an alternative, networked way of understanding and describing the body and the world in which the body exists. Combining both universal and personal mythologies, the eight exhibited artists use figuration to explore cycles of growth and decay, of fertility, ritual and interconnection.

Includes: Xanthe Burdett, Molly Greene, Nettle Grellier, Jane Hayes Greenwood, Laila Tara H, Anousha Payne, Bryan Rogers, Lian Zhang

The title of the exhibition refers to a 1923 work on canvas by Gluck (1895–1978), in which Flora, the goddess of Spring, is transformed into a totemic symbol of yonic power, embodying the interrelation between body and nature.

The works in the exhibition refute utopia in favour of more visceral, bodily and complex compositions. Mimesis falters in favour of fluidity, as the natural world provides a means for reimaginging how embodiment can be expressed: rhizomatic, rhythmic, non-hierarchical.
