Event Details
In this large-scale painting, botanical life commands attention with both its scale and sensuality. Painted in rich acrylics, the composition features three dramatically oversized flowers, a dandelion, a pink peony, and a fiery orange chrysanthemum.
The dandelion, often dismissed as a weed, is given new reverence, its jagged leaves and golden blooms rendered with the same care and grandeur as its more traditionally celebrated counterparts. Beside it, the peony pulses with lush, layered petals that almost breathe, while the chrysanthemum bursts outward with a fiery, kinetic energy. Each flower is given a fluid, almost animated quality, blurring the lines between plant, body, and being. The exaggerated curves and folds of the petals suggest movement and a quietly sensual presence, giving the mural a bodily, intimate energy.
Uncultivated Growth is not merely decorative; it makes a powerful statement about rewilding and revaluing the natural world, especially in urban, curated spaces. By elevating common flora to monumental scale, the artist invites viewers to reconsider what is worthy of admiration. The artwork is painted with a combination of bold confident mark making and meticulously rendered detail, painted with a sense of speed and rhythm - reminding us that nature, like art, is always in motion, always in the act of becoming.
Cinzah’s botanical work merges ecological consciousness with personified sensuality. It urges us to look again at the overlooked, underrated underdogs of our surroundings and to welcome the wild back into our constructed environments. It is a reminder that rewilding is not just about returning nature to manmade spaces, but recognizing ourselves as part of a living, breathing ecosystem, one that thrives when we allow the wild to take root again.
Cinzah has exhibited extensively throughout Aotearoa, New Zealand and in group shows, festivals and mural productions in Australia, Mexico, North America, Canada, Japan, South East Asia, Indonesia, Estonia and the Caribbean.
