Banksia Menziesii, 2026
Oil on canvas
140 × 130 cm

Banksia Menziesii presents the iconic cylindrical bloom through a nuanced interplay of light, colour and texture. Set against a warm, atmospheric ground, the form is built through layered strokes that articulate its complex surface.

Croft’s treatment highlights both the structural intricacy of the plant and its sculptural qualities, situating the work between botanical study and expressive abstraction.
