Christine Nguyen
Flora, Fauna, and the Cosmos
Paintings by artist Christine Nguyen
Exhibition Date: Summer 2022
Christine Nguyen’s art practice is devoted to the natural world and its curiosities, big and small. She is inspired by the cosmos and the ground beneath her feet. These works explored the fluctuation of micro and macro worlds – the way that looking into a microscope can reveal a galaxy.
Cosmic Sun And Moon Light is a 10 foot wide photo-painting with salt-crystals sparking across its surface. Elk, bison, and bald eagles move through a cosmic landscape of sunflowers, cottonwood trees, ash trees, and native grasses. These animals are on a sacred journey to the tree of life.
