StateoftheART is delighted to present ALL THE BUZZ, our last exhibition for 2024, and Lisette Forsyth's fifth solo show with the gallery.
“World politics and Man’s questionable need for violence have left me speechless,” Forsyth reflects. “I turn to nature for solace; This leads me to look at the life of the bee and their distinct roles in the hive. Engaged in a variety of complex tasks such as communication, nest construction, environmental control and division of labour – these are just some of the behaviours that honeybees have developed to exist successfully in social colonies.”
Through her art, Lisette Forsyth draws a compelling comparison between the interdependent life of bees and that of Mankind. She highlights how, in our modern world, we do not concern ourselves with our role or responsibility within a greater eco-system.
