The Karsten Greve Gallery in Paris is hosting the second solo exhibition of the artist, Claire Morgan, entitled, ‘Quietus’. This London based artist creates fascinating installations by employing organic materials, such as dead flies and stuffed animals.
In her work, she brings glory to death and order from chaos. Her meticulously detailed pieces are delicate and portray an alternative, and very rarely seen, aspect of the beauty of nature. Through her work, she muses on her understanding of human existence and the environment. She sees death as an opportunity to express something exquisite, which is exactly what we view in her sculptures. She personally undertakes all of the taxidermy of the creatures exhibited in her work, and even utilizes their blood as a graphic medium on her canvases and sketches.
The exhibition runs through to November 2012.
