In 1994, American artist Alexis Rockman (born 1962) ventured into the dense jungles of Guyana, the site for this fantastic dreamscape of biological life. Rockman’s world of nature―described by the artist as "zoos in outer space"―is tempered by a penchant for the bizarre and the grotesque, but always based upon intimate observation of the environs. Monumental insects―ants, mites, bees and beetles―vie on Rockman’s vibrant canvasses with anteaters, exotic birds, piranhas and iguanas. Guyana/i> is accompanied by a lively text by acclaimed novelist Katherine Dunn, author of Geek Love .
