Exquisite Creatures: The Insect Art of Christopher Marley 2012 Calendar (Wall Calendar)

Ironically, the insects that inspired terror in the young Christopher Marley (American, b. 1969) later became the medium of his artwork. As an adult, Marley developed a fascination with insects' jewel-like colors, their often outlandish shapes, and their perfect mechanics, which led him to study entomology and visit remote locales to observe and collect insects in their native habitats. His precise, minimalist artwork showcases the dazzling beauty and astonishing variety of insect life. The twelve works in this calendar are accompanied by concise profiles of the insects presented.
