Precious Opara Universe in a Drop Water and oil on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) This lot has been curated by Millie Foster About Precious is a multidisciplinary artist born in London. Her practice involves painting, collage, and site-specific installation focused around the human body and natural landscapes in a surrealistic style. This is often an attempt to make her emotional experiences tangible for the viewer, resulting in blurring the line between the body and landscapes. Precious works with the desire for her artworks to possess an essence that is almost soul-like, encouraging this idea to translate into her other mediums. In her painting 'Much to Do Inside', her plant appears as though it has the ability to suffocate, whilst in the collage, 'Earth Cosplay', she constructs the land and seas from her smiling face and body. Natural surroundings are an important motif in her work as whilst it provides a freeing space where she can depict her body with validity, it also allows room for her style of manipulation to coexist.
