HAMISH POWELL is a multidisciplinary floral artist with a studio practice based in Central London. A background in botanical science forms the foundation of his work; met with the juxtaposed fashion and art world, he seeks to radically reawaken our lost connection to NATURE.
Plants are both the muse and medium in Hamish’s work, choreographing floral creations for galleries, fashion shows and events across the world. If not arranging the flowers, he is writing about them; floristry and poetry are two different routes to the same destination – emotional EXPRESSION.
TIME, and its human perception, is a recurring motif within Hamish’s work - where he seeks to frame the enchanting EPHEMERALITY of flowers with the PERMANENCE of words. His thirst for our cultural diversities of floral obsession has plunged him in artist residencies from Singapore to Tanzania, as well as leading floral projects for brands such as LOEWE, BURBERRY, DIPTYQUE, PENHALIGONS, ACNE STUDIOS, CLARIDGES, YSL, and RUINART.
HAMISH’s work has covered pages of BRITISH VOGUE, L’OFFICIEL, WONDERLAND and ELLE; with a feature in ELLE DECORATION naming HAMISH as London’s rising floral star.
