In a nod to floral still lifes of the great Dutch painters, Sarah Bird paints classic white tulips in unadorned glass vases. Highlighting tulips that have just opened as symbolic of the new, she groups them in simple, mesmerizing arrangements of her own imagination – purposefully painting the flowers first, then the stems, leaves and vases. This process lends the finished works a quiet stillness, a feeling of suspension outside of time and reality. Masterfully rendered in oil using 19th-century techniques, Bird's paintings recall classic European works while also evoking a spare, modern feel that offers space for contemplation. General Public, an art curation and publishing company based in LA, is revolutionizing the way we think about and collect art.

The General Public Synograph™, a groundbreaking 3-D technology, redefines the limits of printing, recreating every detail of the original artwork with total fidelity. Capturing the nuances of brushwork and technique, these textured prints are an authentic expression of the artist's hand.
