S
ole Indonesian and Southeast Asian representative Eunike Nugroho, a Yogyakarta-based botanical artist, has won a gold medal at the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Botanical Art & Photography Show at Saatchi Gallery in London, which opened June 16.
This marks the first time Indonesia has been represented at the coveted botanical art show.
Eunike also received the special Best Botanical Artwork award for her painting, “Hoya latifolia G.Don / Bold under (Sun)Stress”.
“I couldn’t believe it since I’d never been included in this exhibition before, Eunike told The Jakarta Post on Wednesday. “But I was very happy and grateful.”
The RHS was established in 1804 and is the largest gardening charity in the UK. It honors people in and outside of the UK who champion horticulture environmentally or through science, art and other studies.
The late Queen Elizabeth II was the society’s patron starting with her accession to the throne in 1952, following the steps of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.
“I’m also glad to be able to bring Indonesia’s name to the international stage,” Eunike said.
