"Duality of Light" 8x10" Framed Butterflies by Chris Lee

In Duality of Light, artist Chris Lee captures the quiet complexity of nature through a mirrored display of two Painted Jezebel butterflies (Delias hyparete). One specimen reveals its vivid dorsal side—bright yellow with bold black and white edges—while the other is flipped to show the softer, watercolor-like tones of its ventral side, with gentle shades of red, orange, and cream.

This thoughtful pairing offers a rare full view of the butterfly’s dual identity, emphasizing contrast, symmetry, and the idea that beauty exists in both the seen and the often-overlooked. Set against a vibrant cyan background and housed in a sleek black shadow box with crisp white matting and a glass front, the piece radiates clarity and presence.
