Over the decades, his interest in self-representation and object transformation has expanded to include experimentations in photography and—beginning in 1996, when he obtained his first computer—digital art. This volume narrows the scope of Samaras's oeuvre to illuminate his incredible innovation; here, flowers are the sole subjects of his psychedelic digital distortions. Taken together, these botanical generations reveal a world ripe with potential.

Lucas Samaras

Eluding historical categorization, Lucas Samaras’s oeuvre is united through its consistent focus on the body and psyche, often emphasizing autobiography. The theme of self-depiction and identity has been a driving force behind his practice, which, at its onset in the early 1960s, advanced the Surrealist idiom yet proposed a radical departure from the presiding themes of Abstract Expressionism and Pop art.
