Fred Stonehouse
The Comedy of Oblivion

2019

About the Item

Color lithograph, Ed. 25. The artist describes this project: “I have a long history of exploring the possibilities of animal and naturalist imagery to fabulist ends. These works serve as allegory, political commentary, imaginative world building, or psychological metaphor. We project human traits onto animals in our art, in our literature and in our folklore. In the west, for example, dogs represent loyalty, lions=bravery, owls=wisdom, the fox=cunning, etc. While I am keenly aware of traditional associations with certain animals, those in my work are deployed to more personally specific ends and are really no more than thinly disguised surrogates for the psychological conditions of the self.”
