‘Swirl of the Damned 12’
Acrylic on canvas, 150x120cm

Churning limbs, elongated protrusions, segmented shapes and petals emerging from distant depths,… The series “Swirl of the Damned” shows a keen pleasure in making the viewer do a double-take. What, precisely, is going on?

These acrylic works on canvas constitute an invitation to the imagination & curiosity, while playfully nodding to Rubens and the colour palettes of memento mori.

Lisa’s statement about the triptych “For Lisa Levin”:

“Enveloping the viewer in atmospheric, outsize scenes of bizarre sea creatures and remote habitats, my paintings highlight the shifting space between human beings and the natural world. Collaborating with scientists in Antarctica and the deep sea, I invoke the history of artists and scientists working in tandem to share new discoveries. Dr. Lisa Levin was the first deep sea scientist I ever accompanied on an expedition and has shaped my entire trajectory as an artist. I painted this series on the occasion of her retirement. The first painting of Fabricia limnicola represents Dr. Levin’s early PhD work, Archinome levinae her namesake scaleworm and represents the incredible influence she has had on the deep sea community, and the octopus larvae is based on the research of Levin’s final PhD student, Dr. Lilly McCormack who commissioned the work.”

A series of three paintings on dark turquoise backgrounds. The first painting shows a translucent worm with thread-like protrusions from the end of its body.

The third painting depicts a translucent larval octopus

The middle painting depicts a fat marine bristle worm with iridescent scales covering its body and clusters of bristles at on either side of each segment.
