Kevin Dutton
Dutton specialises in hyperreal botanical photography, creating compositions from plants and flowers grown by the artist in his garden and allotment in Southeast London.
This series exhibited has been inspired by classical floral paintings from the Dutch Golden age, and historical botanical illustrations. Dutton’s work is an exploration of the historical forms of art and their relationship with contemporary informal gardening conventions. The immaculate presentation of the plants elevates and celebrates the beauty of nature, as well as the time and care that has gone into growing them. His work presents the vibrancy and diversity in the city and the value of nature.”

Gold medal at the RHS Botanical Art and Photography Show.

““I think you need to love your subject. If you love mountains, take photos of mountains. If you love fashion, shoot fashion. I've always loved plants… I grow most of the plants used in my studio studies...”
