Bug in the Brain - Timed Auction

Flora Yukhnovich’s paintings filter Rococo compositions and colour palettes through a contemporary lens, resulting in thickly impastoed, nearly abstract canvases that nevertheless evoke the drama and whimsy of Jean-Honoré Fragonard and François Boucher. The UK-born, London-based artist studied portraiture at the Heatherley School of Fine Art before continuing her education at the City & Guilds of London Art School. In her studio, Yukhnovich transforms her technical education in representational painting into a freer, more imaginative mode of artmaking.

Born in 1990, Flora Yukhnovich completed her MA at the City & Guilds of London Art School in 2017. She had her first solo exhibition at Brocket, London, in December 2017 and has recently exhibited at Parafin, London, GASK, the Gallery of the Central Bohemian Region, Czech Republic, the Jerwood Gallery Hastings and at Blenheim Walk Gallery, Leeds Arts University, UK. Previous solo exhibitions with Victoria Miro include The Venice Paintings and Barcarole, both held in 2020. Collections include Government Art Collection and David Roberts Art Collection. In 2018 she completed The Great Women Artists Residency at Palazzo Monti, Brescia. During the first half of 2022, Flora Yukhnovich will have a solo exhibition at Victoria Miro. In the second half of the year, she will have an exhibition of works responding to the collection at The Ashmolean, Oxford.

Flora has also donated another Study to the Live Auction.
