Abeille IV, Original

Elizabeth Waggett is a British contemporary artist who creates free-spirited depictions of animals, skulls, and personal trinkets. Her work explores the profound relationship between value and purpose in our consumer driven society. 

This piece is from Waggett’s Abeille Series, which was created especially for Enter Gallery’s 2022 Pop-Up at the Truman Brewery in London. The series celebrates the beauty of the bee – the emblem of Waggett’s hometown of Manchester.

“Bees mean something to everyone, and I want these artworks to urge the observer to think about what we place value on. The precious metals I’ve included in these pieces have been chosen to highlight the preciousness of these incredible creatures.”

This hand-finished original piece is created with oil, 22ct gold leaf and oxidised silver on birch panel, and comes signed by the artist. Please note that oxidised silver changes colour over time, so the appearance of the piece will change.
