Of The Curiously Beautiful Grotesque.....









Quite by accident I came across the work of Los Angeles-born artist Elizabeth McGrath. She has an eye for the strange beauty in the grotesqueries of life. Inspired by the relationship between the natural world and the detritus of consumer culture, she brings forth a new cavalcade of creatures from the darker corners of the streets, the city, the imagination. It is this melancholy interaction between man-made status symbols and suffering specimens of nature that make up her intricate body of work.
