This unique collection of oil paintings was exhibited as part of “IS THIS PLANET EARTH?” – a touring group exhibition at Ty Pawb, Wrexham, Aberystwyth Art Centre, and finally at the Ferens Art Gallery, Hull. In this collection of intriguing paintings, I explore our fascination with Nature’s curiosities- unfamiliar organic forms have been preserved for us to gaze upon. Inspired by genuine Victorian specimens, the works have an air of authenticity and importance. However, on closer inspection, the creatures are imagined – just like the form and depth are in the picture itself. Please Click on image for details.
