Skull 2

Through her art, British artist, Elizabeth Waggett explores the contradictions of modern society. She challenges the viewer to question what humans desire in a world obsessed with consumption, no matter the cost.

Skull 2 is part of the artist's Face Value series, which features nine prints of skulls, and explores our mortality. In this image, a golden crown of thorns is used to comment on the boundless greed of man, and the misplacement of value and worth in our species.

At first glance, Waggett's skulls appear to be photographs, but look a little closer and you'll see that the piece has been painstakingly drawn using ink and graphite. The artist only uses the highest quality, sustainably-sourced materials to produce her pieces, including ethical 24-karat gold leaf.

Skull 2 is from a limited edition of 30, signed and numbered by the artist.

    About the artist
    +

    Elizabeth Waggett’s free-spirited portrayals of animals, skulls, and personal trinkets explore the profound relationship between value and purpose in consumer driven society.

    Employing skilled, fine art techniques, Waggett draws her subjects in stripped-back monochrome, adding streaks of shimmering, gold leaf. In the contrast between opulence and simplicity, Waggett’s work represents the inner struggle to balance materialism and meaning, turning each piece into a social commentary that challenges the viewer to confront the impact of mining the world for precious natural resources. 

    Waggett’s drawings and editions have been exhibited around the world. She has had solo shows in NYC, LA, Abu Dhabi, and Manchester, and has presented her work at art fairs in Basel, Miami, New York, London, Hong Kong, Zurich, Brussels, Houston, and Paris. She was commissioned by HRH The Prince of Wales in collaboration with the Prince’s Trust 50th Anniversary and has worked for luxury brands including Saks, Soho House, and SLS Hotels. She holds an honours degree in Fashion and a postgraduate in Design from the University of Manchester.
