The six artists in Beaux Zoos - 2010, Animal Imagery in Art each use animal imagery as their subjects, covering a broad range artistic sensibilities and approaches. The use of animal imagery by artists reflects the long tradition in art of using such images to express various aspects of cultural, societal and political conditions. The tenor of the art in this show runs from the sublime to the farcical, from the poetic to the political, stretching across the mediums of painting, printmaking, and sculpture.

“Beaux Zoos - 2010, Animal Imagery in Art”, will feature art by six visual artists from California’s North Coast:

• Amy Granfield
• Ruth Miller
• Lush Newton
• Malia Penhall
• Claire Iris Schencke
• David White
