About Me.

About

My name is Lauren Clinton I am a 20 year old British artist who currently lives in Birmingham. 

My work consists of a mix of digital drawings and acrylic paintings of my birds.

I am exploring the theme of anthropomorphism as I feel as though my birds are more then just pets and that they are more like another member of the family and they all have their own personalities and show human like traits.

My digital drawings include them in areas doing things that humans would do and then I turn them into acrylic paintings that have text below them to show you more information about them and why I see them as a family member more then a pet as they have their own preferences and opinions.

Secret Space

I made a piece that had 4 acrylic paintings with text underneath them with a background of a piece of wood covered with vinyl wallpaper to make it look more homely and it was kept upright by an easel.

Secret Space

I made a series of digital drawings with text below them and then printed them off and made them into a booklet and then hung them up on the wall with a sign saying to flick through the pages.

Stryx Gallery

I made 2 boxes that were covered in my pet birds feathers that naturally came out and then I glued another 2 boxes on top and I also had paintings that my birds made with their feet that were dipped into different coloured non-toxic paint.
