Flores ante el sol, un monumental óleo sobre lienzo de James Rosenquist de 1989, destaca como la cumbre de su serie floral de los años 80, en la que entrelaza vibrantes formas botánicas con tenues trazos humanos. Figura clave del pop art de los años sesenta, Rosenquist pasó de sus primeras obras de carácter comercial a un estilo profundamente personal, un cambio que se refleja en la deslumbrante variedad de flores amarillas y rojas de este cuadro, sobre un fondo cósmico y arremolinado de blancos, morados y naranjas. Inspirada en el traslado de su estudio a Aripeka, Florida, y en la adopción de la avanzada tecnología de fotocopiadoras en color, la obra fusiona el esplendor de la naturaleza con un toque abstracto en un enfoque novedoso.


 


Las capas estriadas de imágenes hiperdetalladas y la profusión de colores cálidos evocan un sol radiante y sobrenatural, mientras que los sutiles toques humanos añaden intimidad, reflejando su distintiva mezcla de herencia publicitaria y visión personal. Creada en una época de influencia tecnológica y medioambiental, captura la vitalidad de la flora tropical de Florida y afirma el legado perdurable de Rosenquist con un brillo espectacular.
