Chihuly Studios and Exotic Aquatics
Exotic Aquatics has partnered with Chihuly Studio to create an underwater
world that engages audiences in a totally unique way. This aquarium is the
renowned artist Dale Chihuly's newest installation, a culmination of his
long-time fascination with the sea and his ability to continually
re-interpret the ancient medium of glass.
Chihuly has always drawn inspiration from nature, and this appreciation is
essential to his creative process. He embraces the spontaneity of organic
form, and masterfully employs natural phenomena including fire, gravity, and
centrifugal force in making his work. In turn, his creations exude an
intense vitality, especially when set among sea life in the aquarium.
Glass elements reminiscent of anemones and coral reef co-exist with the sea
life, as they become active participants in the new Chihuly marine
environment. This dynamic juxtaposition of art and nature is both beautiful
and mysterious, enticing viewers to look closely and admire.
