Julius von Bismarck (1983)
I like the flowers (Monstera deliciosa)
2017 | pressed and dried plants, mounted on stainless steel plates | 166 × 143 cm
Big leaves, small plants and even whole palm trees: nothing is too big or crazy for Julius von Bismarck to flatten and turn into art.
Von Bismarck’s work shows his ability to control nature. The delicate leaves in this work – they are real – have been carefully pressed and supported by metal so they hold their form, as they balance between life and death.
