Artists have been inspired by animals and depicted them in art since our earliest ancestors were drawing on the walls of caves. Animals are used in art in a variety of ways; from the humorous to the aesthetic, to the political. Humour abounds in our animal wall art collection, seen in the quirky balloon animals by Jeff Koons and Whatshisname, David Shrigley’s comedic and satirical drawings and witty musings, and the joyful characters that populate Charlotte Farmer’s bright illustrations. We also have several political artworks, which explore the necessity of protecting our animals and wildlife. Louise McNaught and Dave White are notable for their use of art to address political issues and make statements about the state of the environment. You will find animals within multi-media and collage works, from Tom Lewis’ surreal, futuristic series of works to Lisa Lloyd’s paper and card re-creations of nature. Whatever your style and taste, our animal collection will help you express your love for the natural world.
