About the Item

“Sun and Stars” by Allison Green is an oil painting which depicts large-scale sunflowers set beneath a deep blue and starry night sky. The painting is part of Green’s new series, “The Night Garden,” in which plant forms hidden amidst the darkness of the night whisper an enticing call. Speaking a mysterious botanical language, they harken to starlings, star gazer lilies, king and queen proteas, peace lilies, royal mushrooms and monarch butterflies. These anthropomorphic subjects provide a rich and reflective visual allegory, to be interpreted by the viewer. Enveloped in darkness yet illuminated by the starry sky, these works invite viewers to sit amidst it's lush garden of metaphors and uncover to the stories within.
