Exquisite Creatures Exhibit at NC Museum of Natural Sciences - The Art of Christopher Marley
|
|
Nature can seem messy, chaotic, even frightening, but in Christopher Marley’s world, it’s a bounty of usable materials that can be infinitely organized and aestheticized… the visual through lines that cut across all organisms and natural elements, from fish to flowers to minerals, all appear in biophilia — a love of life. In Marley’s mosaics, virtually anything on Earth could be useful and celebrated for its unique beauty. |
|
The now open exhibit, Exquisite Creatures at the NC Museum of Natural Sciences is a dialogue with art, nature and science. Using organisms and elements as his medium, artist Christopher Marley explores our need to connect with the natural world on a personal level, inspiring biophilia.

Even the hard categorizations and taxonomies of a natural history museum don’t hide the beauty of the natural world… but rarely do you get to see those specimens side by side. Marley chooses his juxtapositions carefully to emphasize the full spectrum of color displayed and replicated in the natural world. You begin to get the feeling that nature is drawing inspiration from itself, even copying itself outright. And in a sense, it is. In the world humans share with these organisms, recurring geometries and colors are a sign of our essential oneness. What’s not to love?
All vertebrates used in this artwork are reclaimed, meaning they passed of natural or incidental causes, most often in captivity. None were killed for this purpose.

Christopher Marley is an Oregon-based artist, naturalist, and photographer whose work uses preserved specimens to illuminate the incredible diversity of nature. His art attempts to break down the opposition between science and aesthetics, and in doing so to encourage a sense of empathy with those living beings that we encounter in everyday life.
Marley has held solo exhibits in a variety of galleries, museums, and retail spaces—including the Stamford Museum of Art, the Houston Museum of Natural Science, and Saks 5th Avenue. He has also published a number of popular books—most notably Pheromone: The Insect Artwork of Christopher Marley and the 2015 New York Times Bestseller, Biophilia.

TheBeltlineBuzz items are selected by our editors. No one can pay to be featured on TheBeltlineBuzz. That's what advertising is for, and it's always labeled as such. Selling ourselves (literally) would destroy the legitimacy, integrity, and fun of TheBeltlineBuzz. Plus, we'd never earn your trust that way. So we'll never make a dime off your meal at a restaurant nor a penny from the sale of the latest accessory we told you about.
That said, on occasion, we will send out "Dedicated" emails on behalf of sponsors. You'll recognize them from the subject line: " TheBeltlineBuzz Dedicated Email." Yes, these are paid for. And, no, we would never sell our subscriber list to anyone. Not for any amount of money.
We hope that you continue to enjoy your Beltline Buzz. We look forward to delivering it.
