About this artwork
This work will become available after my exhibition in autumn 2026.
The segmented body of this grub provides the perfect opportunity to showcase cross-hatching and the way that it can create volume through the direction and the degree of curve of its strokes.
Grubs like this appear repeatedly in the artist's 'The Way Down' and 'Abundance' series. Their flexible shape means that they can slot elegantly into compositions, drawing the eye along their… bodies.
Here, the grub is put into the spotlight and enlarged, on a 20cm x 20cm sheet of paper.
The drawing is in black ink on Hahnemule natural white, acid free, 300g/m2, hot pressed, watercolour paper. It is initialled in the lower right.

« I seek to rekindle in contemporary viewers a sense of wonder, awe and tenderness in relation to the world around them. »
Lara Broecke's passion for early Italian art was born while living in Florence. She currently lives in France and paints using early Italian techniques - gold leaf and egg tempera paint, made by hand-grinding pigments in egg yolk, on wooden panels coated with gesso. She marries a medieval sensibility with contemporary compositions, creates rich representations of the natural world and man's relationship to it.
