Study for Venus by Andrew Tyzack
Venus by Tyzack &
Venus by Cranach
Andrew Tyzack
has begun a series of works based upon Lucas Cranach’s ‘Cupid
complaining to Venus’. Cupid is depicted stealing
honey from a bees nest in a tree, being stung by the
irate bees and complaining to his mother Venus.

Tyzack’s painting: ‘Beekeeping in
Britain’ was
recently licensed
for the front cover of
‘Trends in Biochemical
Sciences’.
Inside, this is what they said:
“As any apiarist will tell you,
knowing that there is a ‘sting in the tail’ will
provide you with a keen awareness of how you should
regulate your behaviour around your bees. Similarly,
recent structural studies of protein phosphotase 2A
(PP2A) family members show that the ‘sting’ in the
carboxy-terminal tail of its A-type subunits is
important for the binding and dynamic exchange of its
regulatory B-type subunits.” Trends in Biochemical

Grice Found
Special Gallery To Celebrate Role Of Bees In Our
Lives
Written By Todd Wilkinson
As artists
who together operate The Land Gallery
in England in East
Yorkshire, they decided to do something about it:
Put out a call to other artists and open a virtual
gallery with procceds from the sale of artwork going
to the cause of pollinator conservation. Tyzack has
a particular insight into the problem, which in many
parts of the globe has manifested itself as Colony
Collapse Disorder. Outbreaks of CCD have been blamed
on a virulent combination of mites and a fungus
killing honey bees with weakened immune systems
potentially caused by exposure to pesticides. Loss
of habitat also is taking a serious toll on wild
bees, with several species in the U.S. now
imperiled.
Tyzack himself is a third-generation beekeeper, a
practitioner of the apiary arts, husbanding his
domestic honey hives to make sweet honey.
More and more, artists are stepping forward to aid in
the cause of conservation. This effort on behalf of
pollinators is similar to one led by biologist Kerry
Kriger who founded Save The Frogs and has sponsored an
art contest that is open to painters of all ages.
Bees in Art celebrates Hymenoptera, the order of insect
that encompasses honey bees, bumblebees and related
species. He said that he and Grice welcome artists in
North America to contact him if they are interested in
supporting bee conservation by making works available
for sale...
