Johannesburg-based artist Hannelie Coetzee is the subject of a solo exhibition, “Eco Queer Creature Series,” at Morton Fine Art in Washington, D.C., on view through June 24. The show, an official partner event of WorldPride 2025, features drawings and studies of non-reproductive animal behavior, including a fox series based on a pack near Oxford University. Coetzee, who has a background in documentary photography and community development, returned to drawing in 2020 and uses the medium to explore animal behavior on its own terms, challenging patriarchal and anthropocentric assumptions.
