In this review I will be reviewing my visit to the HYBYCOZO exhibit at Missouri Botanical Garden.
Missouri Botanical Garden has hosted works from some very talented artists over the years. This year from April through August they are home to works by HYBYCOZO. This exhibit called Patterns in Nature, allows you to explore 21 intricately designed installations throughout the garden.
In early May I visited the garden to photograph some of these beautiful works. I went during the daytime, and they were stunning among all the beautiful blooming flowers in May. The garden will also be open several evenings for special viewings of the sculptures called LightForm.
About the Artists
The following information on the artists were copied from the brochure handed out at the garden.
"Artists Serge Beaulieu and Yelena Filipchuk began HYBCOZO in 2014, drawing inspiration from the inherent beauty found in mathematics, science, and natural phenomena.
Originally from Ukraine, Filipchuk attended the University of California, Berkeley and studied Conservation and Resource studies, concentrating on patterns in the natural world, biomimicry, and environmental science. Beaulieu attended Carleton University in his native Canada and studied Industrial Design.
Together, their large-scale geometric artworks push the boundaries of technology, lighting, and fabrication. HYBYCOZO has been featured in cities from San Francisco to London and from the galleries of the Smithsonian to the deserts of Burning Man. The artists created six new custom pieces for St. Louis, inspired by the living collections and conservation mission of the Garden."
My Photographs of the HYBYCOZO Works
The sculptures were all so very different and with the theme of Patterns in Nature they all worked so well into the garden. Here are a few of my favorites.
Here is the sculpture that is at the entrance to the gardens.This photograph was taken by reaching into one of the works and photographing the tops of the sculpture from the inside.I love how this one sits between the columns.
These bright pink sculptures sit in the reflecting pool in front of the Climatron.There are several sculptures in the gardens that are reflective. They mirror the surrounding garden features.
The Iris were in Bloom
One of my favorite flowers to photograph at the Gardens are their beautiful Iris. They have a huge area with lots of Iris in a multitude of colors. They were in full bloom when we visited so I was able to take lots of photos. Here are a few of them.
Many if my photographs are sold on Zazzle. Here is a link to one of my Iris cards.
