Beginning with Flickering In The Wind as its opening chapter, painted in 2002, the collection reveals how this recurring floral subject developed through expressive movement, changing colour, and increasingly bold compositions.
Alvi returned to the lily in 2011 with Flame Lilies and Lilies in Bloom, followed in 2012 by Lily and Yellow Lily in Blue. Presented chronologically, the works reveal how the motif evolved across a decade through changes in palette, scale, composition, and painterly intensity.
Viewed together, the five paintings transform the lily into a continuing artistic language. Petals flicker, unfold, and expand across the canvas, moving between recognisable floral form and expressive gesture while revealing new possibilities within a familiar subject.
