Coming Soon: Lisa Roet, A New Exhibition

Lisa Roet's Latest Exhibition, 
Soon to Launch at Pieces of Eight Gallery

Exploring Lisa Roet's body of work is like stepping into a parallel universe, a place where the familiar contours of humanity meet the wild grace of our primate relatives. For over 25 years, Roet has been a fascinating pioneer in the art world, blurring the lines between species and challenging us to confront our place in the natural order. Her upcoming mid-October exhibition at Pieces of Eight Gallery, featuring both sculpture and jewellery, is a powerful culmination of this lifelong exploration.

Roet's journey is not just a creative one; it's a deep, scientific inquiry. She has spent decades collaborating with primatologists, geneticists, and zoologists, delving into museum archives and even trekking through the forests of Borneo. This isn't art created from a distance; it's art born from intimate, hands-on research. Her new works, including a series of stunning sculptures and intricate pieces of jewellery, reflect this profound connection.

There is a captivating tension in her work. A silver bracelet cast from gorilla skin imprints adorn a human wrist, a gentle gibbon hand wraps itself around an arm as if for support. Not just beautiful objects; they are powerful reminders of our shared DNA, an uncanny echo of the 'other' within ourselves. Roet's art forces us to consider a simple yet profound question: where do we end and our animal kin begin?

This exhibition is more than a display of art; it's an invitation to a conversation. A chance to witness a master artist at the peak of her practice, using the intricate language of form and material to explore the most fundamental questions of our existence. Be prepared to be moved, to be challenged, and to see yourself and your place in the world, in a new light.
