Orlanda Broom
Broom’s richly saturated paintings fuse exotic flora with intuitive abstraction. Since completing her MA in 1997, she has developed an unmistakable language of imagined ecosystems whose scale and colour have attracted major commissions - a 4 × 4 m centrepiece for the Four Seasons Downtown New York and multiple paintings for the award-winning Roseberry Lounge at Mandarin Oriental London.
Her work appears regularly in competitions such as the RA Summer Exhibition, Threadneedle Prize and NOAC with recent presentations including Saatchi Gallery’s “Flowers: Flora in Contemporary Art & Culture” and exhibitions in London, Paris, Portugal, Cape Town and Mexico. Broom’s paintings sit firmly in the territory of serious contemporary collecting.
