Organa Æternum
Organa Æternum is a series born out of the merger between traditional still life painting and medical illustration. Grauer uses a plastic mid-century anatomical model as his chosen subject to arrange and set in scenes. These plastic representations of tissues, organs, systems and the body are used as aesthetic objects. Specific influences are found within the themes of vanitas and Memento mori, which were executed with symbolic objects of brevity to remind viewers of the transience of life.
