An aerial view of saturated hibiscus flowers composes an image charged with energy and graphic appeal. By flattening the flowers and keeping the details present in the lush greenery, the artist creates an allusion that the blossoms float above blades of grass. Hovering between the realms of photography and painting, Warhol demonstrates his attuned capabilities as a colorist to create an abstracted vision that transforms conceptions of visual space.
