Juan Ezcurdia has become has become known for his wild and varied interpretations of animals and people and how they intermingle. It seems artistic and humorous at the same time, sort of like Gary Larson meets the Masters, for lack of a better analogy.
The work itself is as unique and multifaceted as one might expect from the special mix of a psychologist/children's books illustrator turned artist. People and animals are portrayed in a naïve manner but the ways they interact blur the lines. Its almost as if the painter has decided that all living creatures are on the same equal footing, and talk of opposable thumbs and enlarged craniums be dammed.
