paintings exploring present and past attitudes to the large extinct native fauna of Europe and America and the reaction engendered by the possibility of the return of such fauna.
Practically speaking, A series of vivid colourful paintings inspired by ancient cave art depicting Pleistoscene animals in expected and unexpected habitats. A colliding power-play between ancient and modern landscapes, ice age tundra juxtaposed with the wasteland of an abandoned airport.
Also, twisting predator prey relations- in an out of wack world human beings co-opt all positions on the food chain-so I show a pack of me,
Hunting an elk wolf style. Are we part of or parasite upon, the 'natural world'?

Sophie Iremonger:
Fusing high-fashion magazine imagery with animalistic idolatry, a primitive folk-art popism that reflects NOW succinctly but rejects the high-tech in favour of a hands-on approach. A glossy ultra modern cave painting, this work perverts core Pop art techniques whilst retaining the Pop-art mass production aesthetic and the movements desire for a fresh new art of now. A eulogy to luscious trash values combined with an energetic franz marcesque delight in animal forms, Seriously primordial yet frothed with the artificial flavor of mass media emphera- these mismatching parts create an Erotic Art Frankenstein. Iremonger has always manifested a strong fascination with the natural world, producing art saturated with charismatic Mega-Fauna: it is the artist's intention to communicate her life and vision with all the drama, nostalgia and glamour of the kill.
