Bumblebee

Leon van Opstal found 42 dead bumblebees under a tree in front of his studio. Since then, he has been drawing our attention to the consequences that our human actions have upon nature. And, eventually, upon ourselves as part of nature. In doing so, he doesn’t shy away from using crude imagery, but more often he uses a lot of humour to convey his message. This results in intriguing images, in which butterflies fly around dreamily, whether or not equipped with weapons to defend themselves against us. Bumblebees and bees that, in case of emergency, can be revived in order to commit themselves to their task in nature. Art with a slight wink, but each work made with a good deal of love and an eye for detail.
