Flora Yukhnovich's paintings filter Rococo compositions and color 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 U.K.-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. She has exhibited at galleries in London, Los Angeles, and Venice, and her work has been acquired by the U.K.'s Government Art Collection and the David Roberts Art Collection.
