Jonny Niesche explores the unique materiality of copper in his captivating print, moon moth lust in warm copper.

Exploring themes of beauty, lust and desire the work draws inspiration from a moth's intuition to fly towards a light source – in this case the moon. The hypnotic green and pink gradient is sampled from a Spanish moon moth and vintage Avon beauty bottles. These colours highlight the undertones of brushed copper, the reflective qualities of which run through the artist’s practice.

”Since childhood, the dense allure of copper always seemed to harbour a sense of magic for me.”
