Cendrine Rovini, El Gato Chimney, Erika Nordqvist, Esther Pearl Watson, Fred Stonehouse, Rithika Merchant, Solange Knopf and Zeki Agacan have an intimate relationship with nature, creating on impetus, uninfluenced by academic training or culture.

The artists reproduce the surroundings they inhabit, animating them with the people, creatures and spirits that belong to their personal mythologies. The artworks encased and framed by the Phenotype Genotype Gallery, an environment at the intersection between laboratory and Wunderkammer, reminds us of the anthropological observations which have been gathered, appreciated and scrutinized since the Middle Ages.

This exhibition focuses on the dichotomy of exploring others’ worlds, revealing what the artists have always had around them, but what perhaps we have never seen.
