Six years after his death, the Serpentine Gallery presented this exhibition of Rory McEwen’s botanical paintings.

The exhibition covered many aspects of McEwen’s botanical watercolours over three decades, offering a taste of his work as a whole.

Martyn Rix wrote in the catalogue: “Rory McEwen’s unique talent was to combine botanical accuracy, artistic elegance and superb technique in the same painting.”
