Claire Luxton is a very talented British artist that primarily works with photography, video and installations. This talented young woman has a degree in Fine Arts from Goldsmiths University, London and has already found her own unique style that’s immediately recognizable. She’s known for her self portraits. She has this incredible eye for detail and a vision for combining her love of portraits with her love of nature.
Her projects often feature bright colors, paint, animals, and botanicals in the most fantastic way possible. She’s already had two solo exhibitions in London, and took part in many group exhibitions in galleries all over the world. She’s been shortlisted for the Signature Art Prize in 2015, was a finalist of Xerxes Sculpture Prize the same year and successfully got through to the second round of Aesthetica Art Prize in 2016. Since then she created her own brand Claire Luxton Studio, shot the cover of Blogosphere Magazine and has been commissioned to work for the Birmingham Royal Ballet. Today we thought we’d share with you some of her amazing portraits with animals, but we urge you to follow her on Instagram to see more of her remarkable work.
1. Peter and the Wolf
This is a photo from Claire’s work with the Birmingham royal ballet, where she’s creating artwork for the new season of Peter and the Wolf.
2. Striped Heart
Here’s another beautiful portrait she did with a tiger. What you’ll soon find out is that Claire manages to make it look like she has similarities with each animal she photographs.
3. Imprints
See how her freckles seem to match the wild cat’s? Claire captioned this photo with:
“We all have our marks and scars
Some visible, some purely ours.
At heart we are creatures
Wild inside,
From the rain we run, from the cold we hide.
But embrace our prints and we shall find,
A kind heart and an open mind. “
