Magnificent Standards, Original

This original artwork has been created especially for The Mix – Enter Gallery’s 2024 group show of original artworks from a selection of our artists.  

Elizabeth Waggett is a British contemporary artist known for free-spirited depictions of animals and skulls. Her intricate work explores the beauty of nature, the fragility of life, and where we place value in our consumer-driven society.  

Lobsters are a defining motif from Waggett’s oeuvre, with the artist drawn to depicting them for their physical shape and what the creature represents. Waggett reveals:   

“I wanted to find a way to celebrate the beauty of this creature, the love we hold for it, while also representing how we use the animal world for personal gain. I love the lines and composition of the lobster, with its shine and complicated exoskeleton.” 

This original painting was created with oil paint and 23k gold on linen. It comes signed and numbered by the artist.
