Isidore Bishop-Sauve’s paintings emerge from the assemblages he creates inside cigarette tins, miniature wonder cabinets of found objects - driftwood, feathers, shells, stones - and print clippings, particularly from the National Geographic series which was so critical to his childhood pursuit of epic narratives as escapism.

The paintings themselves draw from these collages, and are a somewhat fantastical and romanticised representation of nature, ones experience of it, and the freedoms it offers to those to whom society has assigned a sense of shame.

Isidore graduated with a BA in Fine Art from the Slade School of Fine Art.
