This graphic and bold print is part of a 2024 series where I began introducing botanical illustrations into my paper and typographical collages.

Shredded Camellia

'Growing' combines the delicacy of a botanical illustration with the sharp interruptions of neon strips, fragments of text, and geometric cuts. At its centre, a soft, full bloom anchors the composition, but its organic calm is fractured by verticals and diagonals that feel like both scaffolding and interference. The tension between natural flourishing and imposed structure speaks to resilience. The work asks how growth happens: through care and nurture, but also by navigating pressures, systems, and obstacles that surround and shape it.

Yellow Stone

This artwork melds organic and abstract elements in a joyous visual harmony. A richly variegated botanical form sits amidst a dynamic patchwork of torn paper, bold geometric shapes, and graphic accents in greens, pinks, and soft neutrals. The interplay of vivid mint and forest greens with warm blush tones and playful pops of patterned detail embodies a spirited, uplifting sensibility – an aesthetic that typifies Serbutt’s mixed-media collages.

Autonomous Everything

This collage blends earthy textures with bold geometric accents to explore balance, energy, and play. Warm tones of beige, ochre, and brown are layered with torn paper edges, grounding the piece in a tactile, organic feel, while vibrant circles of yellow and pink inject bursts of joy and optimism. The word “CREATING” punctuates the composition, reinforcing themes of process, experimentation, and expression. Typical of Serbutt’s style, the artwork fuses harmony and spontaneity, using contrasting colours and shapes to spark a sense of curiosity and positivity.

Slowly, he walked away

On Circular Truths by Ben Serbutt is a rhythmic collage that layers greens, yellows, and earthy neutrals with geometric fragments and organic textures. Anchored by bold circular motifs, the composition plays with the idea of cycles and repetition, contrasting rigid linear forms with torn, flowing edges. The scattered shapes and bursts of colour evoke both order and disruption, inviting viewers to reflect on how truth can be both structured and fluid. With its playful yet thoughtful energy, the work encapsulates Serbutt’s ongoing exploration of balance, optimism, and shifting patterns.

Water Resistant by Ben Serbutt draws together deep blues, inky blacks, and flashes of crimson to create a layered visual conversation around strength and fragility. The collage integrates textured patterns, torn edges, and bold graphic elements, anchored by the central motif of the word RESISTANT. Evoking the qualities of water – fluid yet powerful – the piece balances calm expanses of colour with sharp, structured forms. Through this interplay of organic and geometric, Serbutt suggests resilience against external forces while still embracing openness and flow.

Water Resistant

A lush and layered celebration of growth and renewal. At its centre, a delicate botanical illustration blooms against a dynamic backdrop of torn textures, vivid greens, and geometric accents. Words like nature, green, and resilience emerge within the collage, grounding its theme in the strength and adaptability of the natural world. The interplay of organic imagery with bold abstract fragments reflects how fragility and endurance coexist, reminding us of the quiet power and persistence found in the environment.

The resilience of nature

A vibrant exploration of continuity, legacy, and vision. At its centre, a delicate floral illustration is framed by a dynamic constellation of torn textures, bold typography, and striking geometric fragments in greens, pinks, and luminous neons. Words like generations and eye weave into the composition, guiding the viewer to consider perspective, inheritance, and the threads that link past to future. The layered interplay of organic forms with sharp graphic marks captures Serbutt’s hallmark balance of playfulness and reflection
