About

Graphic Rewilding, founded by creative duo Catherine Borowski and Lee Baker are on a mission to transform urban spaces with their vast, nature inspired, immersive art.

A chance encounter on a flight to New York 13 years ago sparked a profound creative partnership. Borowski’s background in large-scale curation inspired Baker to bring his studio-based nature art into the public realm, and Graphic Rewilding was born.

Now their unique blend of creativity, spatial vision and material innovation continues to rejuvenate unlikely spaces across the globe. By uniting art and community, they create a colourful hybrid world where nature is reimagined on a maximalist, pictorial scale, embracing what they call “microscopic maximalism.” Through this approach, the tiniest details are magnified to monumental proportions, revealing the hidden magic in everyday life and sparking a sense of childlike wonder in their viewers.

Drawing inspiration from sources as diverse as Japanese Ink painting, Dutch still-life, and contemporary visionaries like Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Yayoi Kusama as well glass artists like Brian Clarke and John Piper, they craft graphically powerful compositions brimming with energy and lightness.

It’s been shown that a 20 minute walk in nature is enough to significantly improve your mood and reduce feelings of stress and anxiety. However, as nature becomes less available for many in urban environments, it’s also been shown that exposure to simple PICTURES of nature has a positive effect on the mind.

So, as an artistic counterbalance to the severe lack of green space in cities, Baker and Borowski create vast, flower inspired, attention grabbing, positivity inducing artworks and immersive environments with the intention of inspiring people to connect and empathise a little more with the natural world around us.
