Florence Blanchard

Chromatic Ascension, 2024

Florence Blanchard is a French painter, muralist and screenprinter based in Sheffield. Her work is inspired by her experiences of working as a scientist and writing graffiti, and it depicts abstract molecular landscapes that question ideas of visual perception.

Chromatic Ascension is an installation that invites viewers to embark on a visually stimulating experience as they ascend a staircase. They are drawn into an imagined world that hints at a deeper journey of personal growth or enlightenment.

Blanchard aimed to foster a sense of identity and belonging, turning the staircase into a vibrant dialogue that challenges perceptions and stimulates the imagination.
