BUTTERFLY SCULPTURES
Beauty and Beast . Bloom Sculptures
2013 . 2016
Anabela Chan's love for colour extends past gemstones and into the exotic. During a childhood spent travelling, she developed an interest in avian zoology and later, taxidermy. These fascinations take her Objets D'Art into the realm of entomology. Each piece has hundreds of delicate, precious butterfly wings set on spokes and spools of brass and gold. Divorced of their 'thingness', these wings become intricate masses of ethereal colour.
Since its first inception in 2013, Les Ateliers Courbet New York unveiled the artist's latest works in May 2016, as part of Chan's debut solo exhibition 'The Natural Curiosities of Anabela Chan'.
