Over a two-year period that began in 2014, Brooklyn-based artist Alexandria Tarver limited herself to a uniform template: botanical still lifes in a grayscale palette. Collectively titled “New Paintings,” these small-scale oil-on-linen works total forty-six in all, and depict a varied taxonomy of blooms, including roses, sunflowers, pansies, peonies, tulips, and chrysanthemums.
