Summerflowers

Visual Description

A long panorama full of summer lightness: yellow, orange and rosé blossoms unfold rhythmically over a light, silvery-white ground. Sweeping arcs of green leaves frame the composition; delicate speckles and glazed wipes make the surface shimmer—as if backlit on a warm afternoon.

Artistic Interpretation

“Summerflowers” is a picture about scent, movement and the bright rustle of the season. The blossoms appear not as a still life but as a snapshot in the wind—vitality, warmth and cheerful ease. The horizontal flow invites the eye to sway along and breathe in calm.

Art-Historical Context

Floral iconography meets contemporary gesture: the clear, Pop-like fields of color recall modern poster aesthetics, while the glossy layers of lacquer and free lines create references to gestural painting and mixed-media strategies.

Exclusivity

A luminous one-of-a-kind work: multiple layers of lacquer, relief-like blossoms and an elegantly shimmering ground. The panoramic format and the retro frame give the work an independent, object-like presence—Christine Graf’s characteristic signature style.

Collector Value

A positive statement piece for living and reception areas, practices and hospitality spaces. Easy to combine, atmospheric in every season and ideal as a standalone eye-catcher above a sideboard, sofa or bed.
