Flowers Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition that invites 14 contemporary artists who work across a variety of mediums to take inspiration from The Decameron by the 14th-century Italian author Giovanni Boccaccio, in which a collection of novellas are told by a group of self-isolating young people during the Black Death of 1348.
Curated by writer and critic Laura Gascoigne, this exhibition includes works by Stephen Chambers, Ken Currie, Amanda Faulkner, Tom Hammick, Marcelle Hanselaar, Nicola Hicks, Jiro Osuga, Freya Payne, Shani Rhys James, Mick Rooney, Tai-Shan Schierenberg, Tim Shaw, Susan Wilson and Lisa Wright.
