Flora Yukhnovich

Flora Yukhnovich (born 1990) is a British painter. Yukhnovich is known for her contemporary interpretation of the Rococo painting style. The artist discussed her interest in the concept of taste and how personal objects and patterns can reveal aspects of one's interior self in a 2020 interview with DATEAGLE ART. She also mentioned the idea that people may try to cultivate certain tastes in order to fit in or impress others, and that some tastes may be hidden due to shame. The artist finds the Rococo movement particularly interesting in this regard.

Born in Norwich,

Career In 2017, Yukhovnich held a solo show at Parafin Gallery, London. In 2019 she had a solo exhibition at Victoria Miro gallery, Venice. In addition to Victoria Miro, Hauser & Wirth has been representing Yukhovnich since 2023.

Yukhnovich's paintings have commanded high prices at auction. Her third painting to be put up for auction, Pretty Little Thing, sold for US$1.2 million in 2021. In October 2021 her painting I'll Have What She's Having sold for £2.3m at auction.

Her painting Imagination, Life is Your Creation is held by the United Kingdom Government Art Collection.

In early 2022, Rishi Sunak, before he was elected British prime minister, had one of Yukhnovich's paintings in his Downing Street home.
