Item Description

Quail Egg with Star Flowers - "Alice in Wonderland" could have inspired this unique art piece from artist Ave Rose!

http://www.averoseart.com/

In her sculptures, LA based artist, Ave Rose uses clockwork, antiques, insects, bones and taxidermy ephemera in congress with motion mechanics to produce reanimated, organic robots that tend more towards rococo than science fiction. Incorporating precious gems and metals, her creatures are whimsical amusements that practically breathe with artificial life. -Matt Kennedy, Owner of Gallery South, Former Director of La Luz De Jesus Gallery

Her works are characterized by compelling double-effects, blending beauty with the bizarre, technology with tradition, and youthful whimsy with the cold, mechanical realities of death. Behind all of the clockwork, darkness, and hints of satire, Ave’s creations celebrate life by fearlessly confronting themes of a macabre nature. – Hayley Evans, Beautiful Decay Magazine

The work of Ave Rose is like alchemy. Even though it can be seen as macabre, it has a positive energy that shines through the darkness a type of power full of light and beauty. –Decadence Darling, Beautiful Bizarre Magazine"
