This piece is part of an exhibition, Getting Under the Skin, currently showing at the Westminster Arts Reference Library situated in London’s West End just behind the National Gallery. The show features 10 famous works of art reimagined by Field and Young as taxidermy tableaux to reflect the Library’s vast art and design collection. The famous 1964 self-portrait by Belgian surrealist artist René Magritte in which the artist depicts himself in bowler hat and overcoat with an apple floating in front of his face is called “Son of Man”. The apple was a recurrent image in Magritte’s works. One of his apple paintings was purchased by Paul McCartney, which led to the Beatles’s company being named Apple Corps. The fox that features in this recreation by Field & Young was found by Suzette Field’s daughter on Clapham Common one windy night during lockdown. The miniature bowler hat is from a Halloween costume for girls. The shirt is from Suzette’s other daughter’s school uniform from when she was five. Over it the fox wears a grey children’s jacket. The apple is from a plastic decorative fruit display.

Suzette Field (born 1978) and Eliot Young (born 1963) are British taxidermy artists who work as the collaborative duo, Field and Young. Their distinctive portfolio plays homage to the most skilled artist of all time, Mother Nature. Taxidermy and the beauty of preservation against decay is a central facet of all their work. As ardent vegetarians, Field and Young ensure that all animals featuring in their art have come from ethical sources and nothing has been killed for the purpose of taxidermy. Degas’s ballerina squirrels, for example, were roadkill collected from the A13 and Magritte’s fox was found at the side of Clapham Common one wintry night in December.
