Greetings dear darklings.
This evening, I would like to share with you my excitement about the release of Mab Graves' latest painting, 'The Entomologist's Daughter'. Not only has lovely Mab created yet another incredibly beautiful piece, she has decided to release it right here in Melbourne at Auguste Clown Gallery this Friday night!

| The Entomologist's Daughter |
From June 20 until July 7, 'The Entomologist's Daughter' will form part of the Fitzroy gallery's Wilderness exhibition, a show featuring more than 30 international artists. Through this show, Auguste Clown wants to take us on "a journey to a land bound only by the imagination, where nature reigns and the wild roam … [this exhibition will] bring together a collection of traditional paintings and sculptural art in an exploration of an untamed world." I'm really looking forward to it!
In celebration of this great event, I have gathered together some of my favourite pieces by this fabulous pink-haired Pop Surrealist, who movingly describes her art as, "My creations, my obsessions, my darlings. My Waifs and Strays. To inspire you, capture your wall, hold it hostage and not let it go. Or maybe just to vaguely creep you out. Each piece is an original painting. Each painting is a piece of my heart." No wonder I love her work so much. ❤
Enjoy my dear darklings :)

ReplyDeleteYou're so lucky to have an exhibition close by. I do hope you have a wonderful time :)
Thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you Yvonne, very lucky indeed - I'm really looking forward to it! ❤
DeleteEvery single piece of Mab Graves' work is just simply gorgeous! The Alice Croquet necklace was made for you, Bec!!!
ReplyDeleteI adore the Alice Croquet cameo Emma, I wish it really was made for me! Hopefully Mab is creating a bigger, print version of it for her upcoming Alice show - feathers crossed!
DeleteI love these. I tried to single one out but they are all great!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't choose just one favourite either, Ms Misantropia - they are all so gorgeous!
DeleteShe does good work. There are a few of these I wouldn't mind owning.
ReplyDeleteShe sure does Nightwind, I'd love to own all of these! Which ones do you wish were hanging on your walls?
DeleteWell let's see here, I'd definately enjoy having "Elphaba and the Flying Monkeys," "The Raven Queen," "Into the Night," and one on her website that depicts a Halloween scene.
DeleteYou are a man of excellent taste sir :)
DeleteWow! I can't put into words, how to describe her art! Truly breath taking! I LOVE them all! Thanks so much for sharing ;o) Hugs ;o)
ReplyDeleteOh my pleasure Magic Love Crow, I'm so glad you enjoyed them! They are gorgeous aren't they?! Hugs to you too ❤
DeleteI don't find these creepy at all. There's something about them I can't quite put my finger on, but I like them.

Glad you like them Ali! Here's a link to a short interview with Mab I found interesting, where she explains a little about her process and subjects - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1TVOKW-BAE
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
These are fabulous - I think the Raven Queen's my fave, though I enjoyed the Tim Burton-styled work as well. Speaking of her Page of Pentacles - has this gal done a tarot deck???
ReplyDeleteThey're just gorgeous aren't they? I don't believe she has done a tarot deck as yet, sadly - that Page of Pentacles piece was created for the Tarot: Art of Fortune show at Modern Eden Gallery last year - but given how popular it was, I'm hoping it forms part of a deck really soon :)
DeleteThe first paining is just perfect. I love how her hair is done.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing such wonderful art work.
Oh my pleasure Lady Lilith, I'm so glad you enjoyed them! I love Stargirl too, she's just beautiful ❤ Thank you so much for stopping by!
