They nod to the Dutch masters of the 17th-century with their love of luxury, but also their eye for the ephemeral. Meeuws struck a chord in the art world with his floral still lifes. He is represented by Dutch and Taiwanese galleries and exhibits from Amsterdam to New Delhi.

About the Author

Bas Meeuws is a passionate Dutch photographer. Since 2010 he has devoted himself to updating the traditional and very Dutch genre of flower still life using digital photography.

From the Back Cover

Bas Meeuws' photos are classically beautiful yet radically contemporary. He composes his still lifes piece by piece, but digitally: the basis of Meeuws' monumental works are photos of individual flowers. There is a nod towards the Dutch masters of the seventeenth century: their sense of luxury, but also their eye for the transient. Meeuws' still lifes have touched a chord in the art world. He is represented by Dutch, Taiwanese and Indian galleries and exhibits from Amsterdam to New Delhi.

'Meeuws' assortment of flowers seem to emerge yet elapse into their inky black backdrops, revelling in sharpness, flaunting texture, pore and vein.'
