Venus

Inspired by Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus, Maria Rivans’s dazzling screen print transforms Hollywood starlet Lana Turner into a modern-day Venus. Awash with marine symbolism – from deep-sea coral, to divers, sunbathers, and soaring flocks of seabirds – Rivans’s Venus celebrates our harmonious relationship with the ocean. Here, prehistoric life meets vintage cinema meets Hollywood glamour, all tumbling together in Rivans’s signature headdress. A Goddess of love and beauty, both spiritual and physical, Turner as Venus is a glorious tribute to the natural world – and a deliciously cool breath of fresh sea air for hotter days!
