Australian artist Nigel Sense will be displaying his art at Flinders Street Gallery this April.

Flowers From A Servo is an explosion of colour, sarcasm and flowers as painted from the male perspective. Returning from a sold-out exhibition in Perth, the series features paintings of flowers purchased from local suburban petrol stations – the kind of flowers that are purchased as a last-minute, lazy attempt at an apology; the ones that don’t last more than a couple of days if you’re lucky.

Painted as a tribute to his recently deceased mother and drawing inspiration from his heroes, Warhol, Van Gogh and Howard Arkley, Sense’s exhibition is bright and wonderful.

Flowers From A Servo will be exhibited at Flinders Street Gallery from Wednesday April 15 – Thursday April 30.
