The artists in this show attend to this imbalance in diverse ways, addressing issues of animal presence and subjectivity, the symbolic influence and value of animals, and inter-species friendship and compassion.
AJ Brown’s paintings of cats speak to the powerful role that pets can play in individual lives; specifically her own life, in which her cat is her constant companion and mirror. Secretly, like Marc Chagall, who always added a rooster to his dream-like watercolors of people and animals, Brown sneaks the spirit of a certain character into each painting. “I put my cat in each one,” Brown says, “and a bit of myself in as well.”
