This striking 1992 original poster by French artist Robert Combas was created for the Floralies Internationales de Bordeaux, a grand celebration of horticulture held at Bordeaux-Lac. A riot of color and line, Combas transforms the visual language of floral art into a vibrant, chaotic festival of blooming forms.
Combas, a pioneer of the Figuration Libre movement in the 1980s, is known for his comic book-inspired, graffiti-infused works. In this piece, he channels that same energy into a lush, dense jungle of flowers—sunflowers, lilies, and untamed flora swirl together under a dripping sky of abstract brushwork. The poster blurs the line between promotion and expression, making it both an advertisement and a standalone work of contemporary art.
Bold white lettering dances through the composition like vines, giving structure to the swirling chaos beneath. The contrast between the intense palette and the playful typography captures the joy and spectacle of the Floralies event itself—a perfect fusion of art and nature.
A rare and electrifying piece from one of France’s most rebellious modern artists, this poster is not just about flowers; it’s about visual abundance, freedom, and life in full bloom.
