This painting shows Gollon’s innovative use of spray paints, printmaker’s rollers and scratching in techniques, which he borrowed from monotype printmaking. By making the shadows deliberately wrong, he animates the flowers. Gollon’s instantly recognisable still lifes often hint at human dramas beyond the picture edge. Here, the flowers suggest displaced people awaiting a fate unknown.
