De 'gore' esthetiek van Lotte Pet zet de geordende en vaak gemedicaliseerde relatie die we hebben met de binnenkant van ons lichaam op scherp. Geïnspireerd door hedendaagse biotechnologische ontwikkelingen verkent ze in haar schilderijen de existentiële status van het lijf en de nieuwe levensvormen die worden gebouwd uit onze organen, weefsels en cellen. Pasteus aangebrachte composities van vlees verweven met laboratoriumapparatuur balanceren tussen stilleven en organische portret. In O-68 toont ze een selectie van werken die de veranderende identiteiten van orgaanweefsel weergeven: als proefmonsters, mutaties, of familieleden.

Detail van de voorpagina van het proefschrift van Lotte Pet : The Excess of Meaning, Developing an ethical attitude toward biological life through engaging with bioart
Marktpositie
Lotte Pet studeerde in 2012 af met een bachelorsdiploma in beeldende kunst aan de Koninklijke Academie van Beeldende Kunsten (KABK) Den Haag en voltooide vervolgens een bachelor en master in kunstgeschiedenis aan de Universiteit Leiden. In 2024 behaalde zij met lof haar PhD aan de Universiteit Leiden, waarvoor zij onderzocht hoe biokunst een eigen vorm van kennis over biologische materie kan genereren, parallel aan biowetenschappelijke en bio-ethische discoursen. In 2025 is zij geselecteerd voor jump!, het 1,5 jaar durende talentontwikkelingstraject voor beeldende kunstenaars van TalentHub Brabant.
