October 7, 2010 – New York City, NY – Lyons Wier Gallery is pleased to present BEAST, a group exhibition investigating curiosities and complexities in the animal kingdom through the works of seven contemporary artists.
Building upon John Ruskin’s notions of the “pathetic fallacy,” BEAST takes the observer on a journey into an imagined world, unlocking new ideas about man’s symbiotic yet hypocritical relationship with animals. Each artist utilizes the animal form by displaying the inherent beauty of the beast through embellishment, adornment or the mere placement or composition of the work onto itself.
