Lush Nature by Eva Münnich

This piece is inspired by the lushness of summer nature and exotic plant life. It is centred around the flower ladies, recurring characters in Eva's work. Cheeky little plants that grew legs and big bums but no arms. Their full bodies remind us of ancient fertility idols that worshipped nature for its life-giving fruitfulness. The rich greens and juicy appearance of the characters and plants are underlined by the soft sheen of the CGI vinyl materials they are rendered in. Juxtaposing the natural with the artificial, making them look like toys and pointing towards the manipulation and control we exert over nature.
