Animals have been pervasive in art-making since the dawn of time and continue to be so. The exhibition focuses on the ways in which contemporary artists deal with the subject of animals in the metaphorical and spiritual ways. As the 'lolcat' became the official mascot for the Internet over the past decade, new fetished of role-play have emerged in the form of consumed Furries. Playful horses and deer remind us of our fondness for kitsch. But, what does the animal represent as a totemic icon and a force of nature? In the wake of Modernism, artists have been open to explore the animal as a figurative and narrative device. Our fascination with animals transcends, fantasy and mysticism, enforces our nostalgia for the Trapper-Keeper generation and provides an opportunity to think abstractly about current trends.
