Colin McIntyre: Systema Praeternaturae Opening Night

Colin McIntyre’s upcoming exhibition, Systema Praeternaturae, features new work from the ongoing Organism Series, a series of works that explore imagined lifeforms with varied morphology. These works are inspired by taxonomy, the system in biology of classifying species based on their traits. These sinuous, flowing forms are forged in steel with the liquid metal sheen of nickel plate. The title, Systema Praeternaturae, is a play on Systema Naturae, the vital work by the famous botanist, Linnaeus, in which he created the entire system of classification that is still in use for all life forms. Save the date for the opening night on September 27th from 7 to 10pm.
