In ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜Ž๐˜ช๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ต ๐˜“๐˜ฐ๐˜ต๐˜ถ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ด (1960), Zhang Daqian (ๅผ ๅคงๅƒ) enlarges the flower to monumental scale. Spanning six panels and more than eight metres in length, the work creates a world of its own.

The lotus was a lifelong subject for Zhang, who cultivated the plant himself and returned to it repeatedly in his paintings. Here, the lotus becomes architecture. Leaves and flowers sweep across the composition with a tectonic presence.

A flower long intertwined with Buddhist thought, rendered at a scale that asks to be encountered rather than simply observed.

Wishing a peaceful Vesak Day to all who celebrate.

A year ago this week, we were deep in the build at Chelsea, working alongside neighbours we admired enormouslyโ€” , and among themโ€”each booth slowly becoming its own strange universe over the course of the week.

Tabula Rosa was our contribution to that conversation. A tropical landscape that sat somewhere between seduction and unease.

What feels especially striking looking back is how differently everyone approached the language of flowers, and how much space there still was for those differences to coexist side by side.

As this yearโ€™s show comes to a close today, we wanted to share a few works we especially enjoyed following from afarโ€”Wagner and Fridaโ€™s continued openness and experimentation, โ€™s wonderfully eccentric installation at Museum of Curiosities, and the many flower friends whose generosity, curiosity and distinct ways of seeing continue to make this world feel expansive and alive.

Part of what continues to make Chelsea interesting to us is the way it can still accommodate very different ideas about what flowers are for, and what they might be capable of expressing.

Golden lotus banana flowersโ€”native to Yunnanโ€”set onto bamboo stools, lifted on improvised crutch feet. Long-necked, slightly off balance. Crouching, teetering, gathering among troughs of local kangaroo paw and tea leaves. A loose herd spread across the courtyardโ€”watchful, yellow.

Come flower with us this June in Shanghai!

Weโ€™re returning to China this summer with our long-time partner โ€”after gathering in the gardens of Hangzhou and the courtyards of Lijiangโ€”and with it, a new line of inquiry.

REINVENTION ้‡ๅก‘

Reinvention becomes necessary when beauty alone no longer compels.

This two-day workshop is about reinventing practiceโ€”rethinking what flowers can do, and how we make.

Through a series of individual, paired and group exercises, weโ€™ll work with plants and flowers to gently question our habits, shift perspective, and open up new possibilities.

For anyone feeling a little restless in their work, or curious about what else might be possible.

17โ€“18 June 2026
Shanghai

Early bird and alumni offers end 15 Mayโ€”more details via link in bio!
