Strange, surreal & esoteric: the work of contemporary artist Bellespetite vividly captures the realm of the dream, through complex, multi-layered processes of illustration. Working at the intersection of the organic & the industrial, Bellespetite draws inspiration from the natural world, exploring the boundaries & contrasts between the human & the animal, the dream & the machine. Against a soft, aqua disk, a woman’s face has been collaged over a barren luna landscape in grainy tones of black & white. Around her head, Bellespetite has layered up fragments from the natural world & the machine age: beautiful, blossoming roses, delicate leaves, & colourful butterflies, meet astronauts, galactic vessels, & stellar rock formations. Dreamy, surreal, & utterly enchanting, ‘ Space Odyssey Rose’ is the product of true, unbridled imagination.
