Overview
Cosmic Water Snake, 2025
Christine Nguyen’s work draws on nature, science, and the cosmos, imagining fluid connections between ocean depths and outer space through an organic prism. Her practice, inspired by 19th-century naturalists like Ernst Haeckel and Anna Atkins, extracts curiosities from the natural world to create meditative, micro-macroscopic visions blending biology, philosophy, and mystery. Nguyen was born in 1977 in Mountain View, California, and resides in Aurora, Colorado, and Long Beach, California. She received her BFA from California State University, Long Beach, and her MFA from the University of California, Irvine. Nguyen has had solo exhibitions tied to residencies at Montello Foundation, NV, and Pacific Bonsai Museum, WA. She has participated in recent group exhibitions at the J. Paul Getty Museum and Armand Hammer Museum, with works in collections including the Getty Research Institute and Long Beach Museum of Art.
