Lily Mixe is a graphic artist originating from Paris who is now based in Margate, UK.
The exhibition Butterfly Effect takes place in Gallery 15 at Saatchi Gallery from 3 November to 4 December 2022. The exhibition will feature a specially commissioned 15 metre mural and an exciting array of new works.
The works featured in Butterfly Effect continue the artist’s on-going exploration of forms in nature and the inter-connectedness of species on planet Earth. Mixe is inspired by the wonders of nature – including the elegance & intricacy of anatomies; the development of survival techniques, such as camouflage, that also manifest themselves in aesthetically beautiful manners; and the evolution of species to cope with the challenges facing them. Of course, humankind presents the greatest challenge to nature and the future of species worldwide. There is an underlying concern about the future conveyed by the works and a call to action that is becoming more and more urgent.
Butterfly Effect includes series of works created on found materials such as vintage bottles and furniture panels. The distressed beauty of manufactured but obsolete objects is harnessed and juxtaposed with the depiction of sublime fauna.
Entry to the exhibition is FREE. Many of the works are available for purchase below.
