About the Item
“Lost with Crocodiles” vividly depicts a surreal gathering of intricately textured crocodile figures, each showcasing a unique, vibrant color palette. Nestled amidst lush waves of roses and a kaleidoscope of flora, the crocodiles appear animated, each carved with captivating detail that draws the eye. The intricate interplay of scales and floral elements creates a dynamic composition, teeming with life and movement. The background, washed with hues that blend seamlessly with the central figures, mirrors a dreamlike sky. The juxtaposition of ferocity and delicacy in this painting challenges perceptions, inviting viewers to explore themes of nature's duality. The commanding presence of the crocodiles, adorned in fantastical patterns, underscores the artist's imaginative vision, transforming a natural scene into a fantastical dreamscape. This artwork stands as a testament to creativity, enticing its audience into an intriguing world where reality and fantasy merge.
Contemporary artist, Augustina Droze, uses animals as symbols to describe her personal lived experiences. Her current body of work explores her life as a foreigner, her gaze upon the world as exotic, beautiful and bewildering. As an expat living in Beijing for the past ten years and currently in Barcelona, Droze’s work incorporates elements of East and West. Her swirling, dream-like paintings are colourful and confrontational, brimming with Rococo inspired abundance. She creates her own modern mythology, a storybook land where she is the other in a very other worldly landscape.
Droze has exhibited in galleries and museums internationally in numerous shows, notably the Castellani Art Museum, Niagara Falls, New York (2014), Banaras Hindu University as Fulbright Senior Scholar, Varanasi, India (2017), the Beijing US Embassy as Distinguished Art Envoy (2022), London Biennale (2023), Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum (2024) and Carrousel du Louvre (2025).

Maybe the horrendous can be okay?
By Jenny Day
Located in New Orleans, LA
Retreating from the stress and chaos of the last year, I created another landscape; populated by an army of friendly creatures. Here the burdens of coronavirus, climate change, and political division are dismissed by hot pink kittens that arc gracefully through meter showers and owls that bury into beds of daffodils. In this place worry is edged out by the fantastic and mystical snails trail neon candy canes through the scorched earth. The apocalyptic is supplanted by the surreal and the allegorical.
Anxiety followed me. The escapist reflects and distorts its shadow world, the real, a funhouse mirror...
