"Antirrocallis aurantium, Hybrid No. 30" - Brandy Kraft

Brandy Kraft (b.1984) is from south Florida and currently works in Stockholm, Sweden. Kraft is an artist focused mainly on the subject of florals- inventing species of her own. Currently, she is focused on a painting series which brings imagined blossoms into the real world. Her creations are further anchored into reality via a systematic, scientific style documentation- each being assigned new binomial nomenclature. Kraft’s technically realistic style combines with imaginative vision to create works that are intriguing and relevant today. Her work touches on themes of climate change, fake reality, and is ultimately a celebration of the diversity and resiliency of nature.
