At the National Gallery of Art, 'Little Beasts' pairs nearly 75 artworks with around 60 objects from the National Museum of Natural History.

The article from This Is Colossal discusses the "Little Beasts" exhibition at the Bellevue Arts Museum, which showcases the intricate work of artist Lisa Naftolin. Known for her detailed sculptures, Naftolin transforms everyday materials into hyperrealistic representations of animals, insects, and other natural elements. Her work, which includes pieces like a life-sized praying mantis made from a single sheet of paper, explores themes of nature, decay, and the passage of time. The exhibition, running from March 15 to August 11, 2025, features her meticulous craftsmanship, where she uses materials like paper, wire, and found objects to create art that blurs the line between the natural and the artificial, inviting viewers to appreciate the beauty in the overlooked details of the natural world.
