**Yukhnovich's newest series of florid, Rococoesque paintings takes inspiration from the lush, lustful scenes of an ancient Roman rite.*Deriving inspiration from manifold art historical styles--from French Rococo and Italian Baroque to Abstract Expressionism--the work of British painter Flora Yukhnovich (born 1990) addresses the dynamics of power inherent in each of these contexts while exploring materiality and process through cascading and swirling forms that flow between representation and abstraction. Addressing the consumerism, moral panic and internet pile-ons of the present day, her latest work is inspired by the ancient Roman Bacchanalia festivals, capturing revelry and hedonism as it tips into abstraction. This carefully designed volume captures the energy, dynamism and intense corporeality of the artist's new body of work through an extensive selection of illustrations and studio documentation, accompanied by an enlightening text by curator Eleanor Nairne. Bacchanalia * also features a section that investigates Yukhnovich's research-based studio practice, in which the artist expands on her multifarious points of reference.
