About the artwork
This painting is part of a series of tributes to Van Gogh's most famous works. "Irises" was created by Van Gogh in 1889, without any previous drawings or studies, a spontaneous act of creation to feel closer to the beauty of nature. Inspired by decorative patterns in Japanese woodblock prints, it was submitted to a Salon to be exhibited amongst the most prestigious artists of his time. Ronnie Ford reinterprets this painting with his signature textured technique, finding an obvious echo to his own practice of painting a bright nature.
