Thick Clutter

With Thick Clutter, Ellen Semen transports us into a world full of chaotic yet fascinating conglomerations. In her works, she captures crowds of people and groups of animals in a dense swarm, reminiscent of heaps and mountains that embody both order and chaos. These visual narratives unfold like nature's battlefields, where the crowds and overflowing abundance represent the carnage of everyday life. Through her precise technique and vibrant color palette, Semen creates striking scenes that illustrate the constant struggle between harmony and disorder, between life and survival. Thick Clutter invites the viewer to immerse themselves in the complex, often contradictory relationships of the natural and human worlds, where beauty and horror intermingle in fascinating ways.
