2AM Demon (Ghost) is an original artwork by Margaux, painted at Print Club during the hot spring-summer of 2025, exploring the same subject as 2 AM Demon — the surreal experience of being jolted awake by a huge ginger cat, an embodiment of chaotic affection and sharp, demanding love.
This is a ghost print: the delicate second impression pulled from the original plate after the primary print has been made. The ghost carries less ink and therefore a lighter, more spectral quality — the same image seen through a veil, the cat's demanding presence made somehow more haunting by its pallor. Ghost prints have their own character that is distinct from both the original and a reproduction. Margaux Carpentier is a French-born artist based in London.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Margaux Carpentier
Margaux Carpentier is a French-born artist based in Stoke Newington, London who studied in Paris and Surrey. She works across screen printing, painting, drawing, spray paint, ceramics and large-scale murals — her practice built around storytelling through symbolic imagery, created entirely by hand using analogue methods. Her work addresses the head, heart, gut and flesh: desire, connection and the vibrant oddity of existence rendered in bold, unapologetic figures and folk-inflected symbols. She is part of Animaux Circus studio and the Puck collective, and is represented by Art Friend. She was campaign artist for Affordable Art Fair Battersea Spring 2025 and has painted murals at London Zoo and Homerton Hospital. In her own words: ‘Creation acts as a window, an unlimited access to colour and pleasure.’
