Arlette Ess is fascinated by the beliefs and myths we collectively attach to certain animal species. Her work plays with our visceral and emotional experience of life, with our need to seek meaning and a sense of order and understanding through storytelling. Her works are intricately figurative and arranged in large, stylised compositions, creating a layered and subversive kind of beauty. This universe of beasts and things miraculous is playing with our need to find meaning in a mysterious and multifaceted reality.
