Artist spotlight: Mothmeister



BIO:
Mothmeister is the nonstop morphing alter ego of two artistic soulmates
based in Belgium, home of surrealism. In their eerie Post-Mortem Fairy Talesthey portray a series of masked, grotesque characters — often accompanied by startling stuffed animals and a variety of curiosa from their private collection. 

Just like in the Victorian era, when deceased loved ones were photographed
as a memento for grieving relatives, Mothmeister immortalizes animals in
a weird and wonderful fairy-tale world.

ABOUT THEIR BOOK:


In addition to the numerous eccentric portraits in our book, Mothmeister also
reveals a unique look behind the mask: from the duo’s intriguing adventures
in the world’s most abandoned places to their untamed passion for taxidermy,
masks and fascinating on-the-road images, exposing their quenchless Wanderlust.
