Bumpy Zoo: a series of paintings that capture the essence of modern living through the lens of animals that mirror human life. This series offers a blend of normcore visual tranquility and a core punk philosophy, portraying animals engaged in seemingly indifferent activities, highlighted by their expressive, slightly squinted eyes. Yet, these animals, with their hobbies, daily routines, and pets, are deeply invested in the art of living passionately.
The series aims to provide a detached, objective perspective on contemporary life, using its imagery to convey healing and strength. Each animal’s carefree demeanor, despite being fully engaged in life’s simple joys, reflects a nuanced critique and celebration of our own existence.
#01 introduces a bear in a traditional tea house. As he sips tea, savors an orange, and admires the view from the window, the bear epitomizes taking life’s reins with calm assurance. -Publisher
