Inspirational Image Friday: Kate Street’s Floral Anatomy
Below are a few selected works by Kate Street, a London-based artist who mixes anatomy, florals, and macabre. A strong concept throughout seems to be the interdependency of life and death on each other. Her drawings are rich in tonal detail, and there’s a delicacy and subtlety to her technique that makes the more morbid elements seem all the more so. And yet this conceptual contrast ends up being more romantic (referring to the artistic movement, not relationships!) than grotesque. They’re still lovely to look at, and are much more than still lifes.
Currently Street’s work is showing in the exhibition in London, The Space Between (see earlier post).
