In Cherie Floriferous, Carrie Goller offers a more intimate and contemplative take on her surreal wildlife series. Painted in oil on canvas, the small bird sits quietly on a slender branch, adorned with a delicate crown of blossoms that echo the surrounding environment.
The composition feels almost portrait-like, with the bird positioned centrally and given a subtle personality through its posture and expression. Goller’s surrealist influence is evident in the way natural elements are reimagined, yet the painting retains a softness that keeps it grounded in emotional realism. The presence of a small bee nearby adds a quiet narrative detail, suggesting a shared ecosystem within this imagined world.
The colour palette is gentle and harmonious, built from warm browns, dusty pinks, and soft creams, with subtle highlights that draw attention to the floral elements. The background is muted and atmospheric, allowing the subject to emerge with quiet clarity. This is an original work, available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art and online, offering a tender and imaginative reflection on the interconnectedness of nature.
