About the Artist
Lily Mixe is a graphic artist originating from Paris who is now based in Margate, UK.
Mixe is inspired by the wonders of nature – including the elegance & intricacy of anatomies; the development of survival techniques, such as camouflage, that also manifest themselves in aesthetically beautiful ways. There is an underlying concern about the future conveyed by the works and a call to action that is becoming more and more urgent. She often uses found materials such as vintage bottles and furniture panels. The distressed beauty of manufactured but obsolete objects is harnessed and juxtaposed with the depiction of sublime fauna.
