Lot Essay

Untitled #5 draws its inspiration from the enigmatic and enchanting world of crustaceans, which cling tenaciously to the rugged rocks adorning the picturesque Cornish beaches. The artist, deeply moved by the beauty of these marine creatures, makes it a point to visit these exquisite coastal havens as frequently as possible throughout the year. Each visit allows the artist to observe the delicate intricacies of the crustaceans' existence, from their unique physical attributes to their fascinating formations.

The artist has chosen to simplify the true forms of the crustaceans, transforming them into a patchwork of star-like bursts. This artistic interpretation imbues the artwork with an ethereal quality evoking a sense of wonder and curiosity, inviting viewers to contemplate the mystique of the crustaceans and their place in the grand tapestry of the natural world.
