The work of Louise McNaught draws its inspiration form the natural world raising the status of animals and creatures to the majestic and sublime, McNaught creates bold images, using striking colour and compositional techniques. ‘Death of the Alchemist’ is a jaw dropping print against a background of crisp white a huge, dying bee is caught in the moment of falling. The image is full of movement and dynamism, as the bee streaks black and yellow paint down the white background as it falls. There is real splendour to McNaught’s dying bee, rendered in intricate detail, with the bold colouring of black and amber gold. ‘Death of the Alchemist’ is an image of striking power, not only aesthetically in its breathtaking use of colour and composition but in its comment on the natural world and the pertinent reminder of our delicate relationship with nature.
