About the Exhibition

Orcaphilia is an exploration of Natasha van Netten’s admiration and curiosity towards orca. This dynamic collection of paintings, drawings and installations are influenced by her personal experiences and by discoveries made in the field of cetology (the study of whales). While orcas are powerful creatures, they are also vulnerable. The works in this exhibition highlight this duality of strength and fragility.
