Since prehistoric cave paintings and throughout art history, animals have appeared in many guises in mythology and storytelling, and their physical and behavioral attributes have supplied artists with a wealth of inspiration and artistic metaphor. Even the internet has become a menagerie of animal photos and videos!

Metropolis Gallery is excited to present Animal Instinct, which explores how artists view animals and at times appropriate their characteristics to make sense of the human species and connect more with the natural world.

Treasure box - latest print

Treasure box

I think we all had a little treasure box as a child.
Mine had letters from friends, letters to the future self and little toys I bought from Gacha Gacha machine (you put a coin and turn a lever attached to the machine, a capsule containing a toy comes out) in Japan.
I used to bury it with friends as a time capsule on the corner of school yard or side of local shrines and temples and we made a promise that we would dig it up after 10 years.
We would go back and try to dig again after few months despite the promise - but we never found our treasure boxes again. It's still a mystery.

Treasure Box is one of the latest etching print.
This brand new print will be exhibited at Metropolis Gallery in Geelong, VIC Australia as part of a group exhibition Animal Instinct from 5 -19 March along with many diverse and amazing printmakers in Australia interpreting animals in their works.

Artists include:
Anita Barrett, Dean Bowen, Jazmina Cininas, Rona Green, Bridget Farmer, Gillie and Marc, Gracia Haby + Louise Jennison, Lucy Hardie, Sheridan Jones, Kyoko Imazu, Adrian Lockhart, John Ryrie, Judi Singleton, Jess Szigethy-Gyula, Tjanpi Desert Weavers, Deborah Williams and Gail Willoughby
