Creating beauty from tradgedy
“ Her art is unique, and as apparently bizarre as the contents of her fridge. Once you discover the impetus behind Nathalie Abbing’s work, you realise it is a lot more than a gilded collection of animal bones. It is about second chances; creating beauty from tragedy. Ultimately, it is about accepting what many people are conditioned to reject.”

Textiles, staples, in frame
When Nathalie uses textile in her two dimensional art she doesn’t use needle and thread. That would make the art too feminine for her. Nathalie searched for more of a rough edge to contrast the soft fabrics.

Textiles, staples, in frame
She uses simple staples to give it just the masculinity she was looking for. Each piece of fabric is only secured by the staples and when light glances over them they shine dangerously in contrast with the soft textile.

This website gives an overall view of the broad oeuvre of Nathalie Abbing. The Creature d’ Or sculptures are considered to be her most significant pieces. As diverse as Nathalie is as a person, she can’t and won’t stick to just one line of work. She’s greedy in discovering the many paths within fine art. Photographs, paintings, installations, jewellery, poems, stories and handycraft. All very different but still they all have Nathalie’s distinct signature. Perhaps they are necessary for Nathalie in the process of creating the golden sculptures.
What if we all had a tail? No, not a pony tail on your head but a real tail, like the one from a rat. You know, down your back, just above your bum. There where the tail once was remains no more than a little hump. That was when man were not humans yet, and maybe a closer family to the hare. When we still walked on four paws or legs. That’s when we had a tail over there. Very convenient for some extra support. Or to use it as an handy third hand. So you can scratch these unreachable spots - that can be very nice, you understand.
