拍品专文

Sparked by her travels through Greece and her admiration for Titian's Bacchus and Ariadne, Berenice became interested in ancient mythology which lead to a series of works loosely inspired by ivy leaves. Sacred to Bacchus, ivy symbolised immortality. Berenice used the intricate shape of the plant to create a colourful patchwork surface that is simultaneously abstract and representational, contemporary and ancient.
