At Photo London 2025, we are presenting at the Discovery section the internationally acclaimed artists Dale Grant and Deni Horvatić, celebrating the 10th anniversary of Photo London with a compelling exhibition titled “Beauty of Nature.”

Dale Grant has embarked on a unique artistic journey to capture the beauty in decay. For him, flowers represent a profound allegory of life. The artist sees flowers not only as colourful creatures, but also as a symbol of the cycle of life – from youth to wilting, from radiance to transience. In his ongoing series “FADING BEAUTY”, Dale Grant reveals the true and unique beauty of flowers as they begin to wither. The petals unfold completely and their vibrant colours become more muted until they finally become transparent and fragile. The incoming light penetrates the petals, giving the photographs a mesmerising texture and form. Dale Grant’s approach to flower portraits is similar to his approach to human portraits. He studies his models carefully before shooting them and considers the cycle of life as a fascinating motif. In his eyes, ageing represents a form of beauty that he discovers in all its facets, even in the most wrinkled faces.

Further, one work from Deni Horvatić‘s “SCAN” series shall be shown. In his life-size photographs of scenes from everyday life, the artist minimises the distance between the environment and the people portrayed by choosing a particular angle of view: Shot from below, the images hide as much as they reveal. His work ‘Accident 1/6’ shows a lawnmower from below; at first glance, the viewer only sees the green grass, the lawnmower and the two feet of the mower. It is only at second glance that the fingers of a hand and a small red crown cap are revealed – what is the accident? Has it already happened? Or is it just a warning from the artist to the viewer?

Together, Grant and Horvatić’s works engage in a thought-provoking dialogue on nature’s cyclical transformation. While Grant’s fading flowers symbolize the passage of time, Horvatić’s scene suggests both destruction and renewal, illustrating the perpetual rebirth of nature.
