StateoftheART is delighted to present ALL THE BUZZ, a solo exhibition by Lisette Forsyth on show from 30 November till 21 December 2024.In a world where divisive politics and global conflict increasingly dominate the narrative, Forsyth finds herself turning to nature for solace. Her latest body of work is inspired by the humble beehive, stumbled upon amidst a pile of agricultural waste. This unexpected discovery led her to delve into the lives of bees, creatures whose complex communal social structures and behaviours offer a stark contrast to the isolated and self-serving values of contemporary human society. • “World politics and Man’s questionable need for violence have left me speechless,” Forsyth reflects. “I turn to nature for solace; This leads me to look at the life of the bee and their distinct roles in the hive. Engaged in a variety of complex tasks such as communication, nest construction, environmental control and division of labour – these are just some of the behaviours that honeybees have developed to exist successfully in social colonies.” • Through her art, Lisette Forsyth draws a compelling comparison between the interdependent life of bees and that of Mankind. She highlights how, in our modern world, we do not concern ourselves with our role or responsibility within a greater eco-system. • “Life in the hive brings me back to communal life amongst homo sapiens. Somehow, we have lost perspective of what is important. With fascination, I try to draw parallels and in this moment, I would like to herald our civil servants: our worker bees and unsung heroes, so important to the future of our species.” - Lisette Forsyth • The exhibition is on show from 30 November - 21 December 2024. • View the exhibition here: https://www.stateoftheart-gallery.com... • Discover Lisette's artworks created on recycled materials such as rusted steel, drift wood, historic newspapers and maps - the artist giving a second life to these once discarded and disregarded surfaces. https://www.stateoftheart-gallery.com... is a contemporary gallery representing artists from South Africa, offering a new approach to discovering and buying art online.Visit the website for more: https://www.stateoftheart-gallery.com...
