Atlanta Bloom in London: My Echinacea at Coningsby Gallery
Captured in Atlanta's Grant Park, this close-up of a vibrant purple coneflower, with its striking orange and green center, will be featured at London's Coningsby Gallery from July 24-26.
This close-up photograph, captured in the vibrant setting of Grant Park in Atlanta, Georgia, beautifully highlights the intricate details of an Echinacea purpurea, commonly known as the purple coneflower. The central cone, a striking blend of deep orange and hints of green, is a textured spectacle, drawing the eye inward. Delicate, slightly drooping petals of a soft, yet vibrant purple radiate outwards, creating a star-like formation against a blurred backdrop of lush greenery and other out-of-focus blooms. The gentle curve of the stem adds a sense of graceful movement to the composition.
It's with great excitement that this image will be featured in the upcoming (Nature Photographer of the Year) exhibition at London's prestigious Coningsby Gallery from July 24th to 26th. Situated in the heart of Fitzrovia, the Coningsby Gallery is renowned for showcasing contemporary and thought-provoking artwork. To have this piece, born from a moment of natural beauty in Atlanta's beloved Grant Park, presented within such a distinguished London space is a true honor. It offers an opportunity to share a glimpse of Georgia's floral charm with an international audience, inviting viewers to appreciate the delicate artistry found in the natural world.
