Charles Blackman 'Paradise Garden' reproduction-print Blackman sees the inevitably ofParadise Garden is a spellbinding image. In it two unclothed figures, perhaps Adam and Eve, recline in a garden. Plants coil around them, the sky stewing with distant rapture. Eve inhales a flowers perfume, Adam lies prone is he asleep or unconscious? Like a thorned flower or poisoned fruit, Paradise Gardens deals in beauty and threat. It is sumptuous and strange, an earthly delight at the rainbows end. Paradise Gardens has never been on the market.
