BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 21. "The Superheroes
of Wildlife" exhibition will be held soon at the Heydar Aliyev
Center, Trend
reports.
On February 4, an exhibition of works by renowned artists who
create impressive public art - UK and Australian sculptors Gillie
and Marc Schattner - will open at the center.
Gillie and Marc, renowned for their unwavering commitment to
wildlife protection, have transformed art into a powerful medium
for advocating nature conservation. Their exhibition, The
Superheroes of Wildlife, to be showcased in Baku, will once again
highlight the pressing challenges faced by wildlife, offering both
a courageous and optimistic outlook.
The exhibition, featuring both small and large sculptures
alongside paintings, invites viewers to reflect on the collective
responsibility we share in safeguarding the natural world. Through
this artistic expression, a vital message will be conveyed
globally: to envelop wildlife in compassion and to actively strive
for its preservation.
Gillie and Marc Schattner’s serendipitous encounter on a film
set in Hong Kong in 1990 marked the beginning of an extraordinary
partnership. At the time, Gillie was a model and Marc a creative
director; just seven days after meeting, they were married.
Described by The New York Times as “the most successful and
prolific public art creators in New York history,” the couple has
since made an indelible mark on the global art scene. Their
monumental sculptures have graced over 250 cities worldwide,
including New York, London, Singapore, Sydney, and Shanghai,
becoming emblematic of their creative vision.
