"Sheep of Fools"

Entitled "Sheep of Fools", this two person exhibition of works by New York-based Sue Coe and Boston-based Amy Ross focus on how animals and humans interact. Coe, long familiar for her politically charged drawings and illustrations, looks at the sheep farming industry and depicts the abuse of both the workers and the animals as a product of corporate greed. Her detailed and dark drawings express the pain and the fear in the animals. Amy Ross' works are painted directly on the gallery walls. Her sepia toned images fill the space, inviting viewers in for close scrutiny. More whimsical than Coe's, they also are political in nature. Ross is interested in issues of animal cloning, and her works morph plant life and animals--suggesting what could go wrong if the people of science are not careful (Overtones, Culver City).
