Exquisite Creatures Insect Art 1000 PC Jigsaw Puzzle

Insect art by Christopher Marley
Beetles (order Coleoptera) and true bugs (Hemiptera) arranged and photographed in natural light.

As a young artist, Christopher Marley spent many years in tropical regions the world over where insect populations are flamboyant and profuse.  His fascination with the creatures gradually prevailed over an initial phobia, leading to lengthy study of entomology and to arduous excursions to locales where the gaudiest beetles dwell.

Marely’s work with insects reflects his desire to impose order on a scuttling, clicking, and swarming world.  His minimalist arrangements of ourtrageous colour invite inspection and wonder; preconceptions fade as we contemplate these creatures breathtaking beauty.  Although the ensembles are anything but organic, the colours are natural and not enhanced or digitally altered in any way.

Marley assets that an increased appreciation for these jewel-like beasts can help slow the wilful destruction of their habitat – which, unlike individual collection, is the only true threat an insect species faces.

Thoughtfully conceived and engagingly intricate, Pomegranate’s 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle combine superb colour reproduction, stunning and unusual images, and sturdy construction to delight generations of novice and veteran puzzle workers.
