Oil on paper mounted on canvas, 140.5 x 80 cm

Years ago whilst visiting the Sénanque Abbey in the South of France, I read the Medieval Bestiary. I began to see that most of our prejudices about certain beasts are still based on superstitions and not on scientific fact, and at that time, I started to redress some of those myths through fable.

CLAUDE JAMMET, Life

Oil on paper mounted on canvas, 30 x 30 cm

My life-long production has revolved around mankind in his context of nature, but there is an urgency now to leave humanity out of the picture as the source of the decline of the natural world, and to give precedence to the species that are being wiped out daily.

CLAUDE JAMMET, LIfe II

Oil on paper mounted on canvas, 30 x 30 cm

My work is also an attempt to apologise to posterity. We are now fully entered into the Anthropocene Era, the disappearance of the animals I am painting is sadly imminent, if not already a fact.
