Item Details
Description
Jacqueline Bishop (American/New Orleans, b. 1955) , "Metamorphosis", 1987, mixed media on panel, pencil-signed, titled and dated en verso, 4 1/2 in. x 6 1/2 in., shadow box frame hand-painted by artist . Provenance: Acquired from the artist; Collection of Noted Preservationist and Aesthete Dorian M. Bennett, New Orleans. Note: New Orleans artist Jacqueline Bishop's body of work is a beautiful and thought-provoking visual exploration of the ecological and environmental challenges facing the world today. She once described her focus as: “My work explores the politicizing of nature, species extinction and eco-political injustice influenced by thirty years of traveling third world countries." Bishop's travels have led her all over the world as she examines the relationship humans have with their natural surroundings. Fauna, flora, changing landscapes, deforestation and the loss of intimacy with nature all provide her with motivation as she creates provocative paintings that connect with viewers long after their initial viewing. Bishop's studies on philosophy, biodiversity and ecology are deeply felt themes that manifest themselves in often unexpected ways in her paintings and assemblages. In "Metamorphosis" offered here, the symbolism is undeniable with the central imagery of a human form melding with a butterfly, placing thoughts of death, rebirth and transformation at the forefront.
