CHELSEA IN BLOOM

Chelsea in Bloom is London's largest free flower festival and coincides with the Chelsea Flower Show (which has ticket prices starting at £80), running until May 24.

Another gallery is currently exhibiting States of Transition, the unique, very clever art of Perspicere ...

Each portrait is built by wrapping thread around nails, layer upon layer, colour upon colour, until a photorealistic image emerges from thousands of intersecting lines.
