Allegorical painting relating to the cause and effect of all actions. From the collection entitled ‘ANIMA MUNDI’ or World Soul, which represents a single unifying spirit present in every living being, an intrinsic connection between all living things on the planet, which relates to our world in a similar way as the soul is connected to the human body. Influenced by the paintings of Gaugin and Rousseau but focusing on the ‘female gaze’, the women who populate these paintings confidently turn their gaze back on the viewer. Are they challenging the subjectivity of women in the canon of art history, hence responding to and questioning the voyeuristic nature of the ‘male gaze’? Or are they confronting the onlooker to act against critical contemporary issues of climate change and habitat loss? The broad concept of the collection spotlights the interconnectedness of all living things and more specifically the damage caused by humans to other species when there is a disconnect. The peacock as an allegory of vanity and the camera phone ‘selfie’ showing warnings of the effects of negative human activities are recurring motifs. Earth colours contrast with grisaille panels highlighting the effects of the actions and/or inactions by humanity on the planet resulting in climate change, habitat loss and the impact on other species ultimately resulting in destructive consequences for humanity unless there is a willingness to reconnect with the natural world. “This world is indeed a living being endowed with a soul and intelligence ... a single visible living entity containing all other living entities, which by their nature are all related.” Plato *PLEASE NOTE: THIS PAINTING IS ON CANVAS BOARD AND UNFRAMED

British artist Claire Milner was famously commissioned to create the Blue Marilyn portrait for Rihanna, widely featured by the global media, but her personal body of work is made up of paintings inspired by her time spent in Africa focusing on social and environmental issues. In May 2023 Milner was selected as one of fewer than ten artists worldwide for Active Membership of the Gallery Climate Coalition, along with several blue chip galleries, institutions and museums. Her work was selected by the conference organisers to be exhibited in the Blue Zone of COP26. She works in collections which are continuously evolving around the theme of nature, our place within it and encroachment upon it. Environmental references such as climate change and mass extinction have been the central focus of her image making for more than two decades. Her artworks include diverse mediums including paint, paper and collage, and as a signifier of her familial ties to Italy, she sometimes incorporates the ancient art of mosaic - famous for animal depictions – and crystal methodologies as a symbiosis of past and present. Her portrayal of animals’ interchanges between the metaphoric and the literal, yet the impact of humanity remains implicit, even when the human figure is absent or plays a minor role in the composition. Her process begins with extensive research, engaging in hours of study, compiling statistics and viewing painful imagery of the consequences of poaching, habitat loss and climate change. A great deal of consideration is given to the integration of this material into the final composition, where realistic and abstract elements coexist, alongside carefully selected art historical references and themes from classical literature forming a balance of topical and historical narratives. Milner’s work has been displayed in museum exhibitions in the UK and her paintings have been widely featured in the global media including the BBC, BLOUIN ARTINFO, Channel News Asia, Elle, Forbes, Huffington Post Arts, The Observer, Save Virunga, The Telegraph, The Times, Vogue Paris and Vogue India.
