Funny animal art is an art category that depicts a variety of animals in ironic or humorous situations. These works are some of the most popular offerings by modern artists and are often used to point out the humor of everyday life. Additionally, funny animal art comes in a wide range of styles and mediums.
Many examples of funny animal art contain images of domesticated animals. These animal pictures focus on household pets, such as dogs, cats, and birds, though other animals may also be featured. Some of the most famous domesticated animal prints are created by surreal artist Cassius Marcellus Coolidge, who's prints like 'A Friend in Need' and 'A Bold Bluff' have achieved international fame as well as inspiring similar works.
Just as there is humor in domesticated animal prints, there are also humorous wildlife paintings. These works focus on the humorous and ironic situations that occur in nature. Frequently these animal pictures depict more exotic animals, as seen in the nursery print, 'Peek-A-Boo Monkey' by Yuko Lau. However, many of these examples of funny animal art also employ elements of subtle surrealism in order to make a point, as illustrated in the humorous wildlife painting, 'Deer Wearing Gym Socks' by Charmaine Olivia.
Funny animal art is perfect for lightening the mood in a room, whether it is located in a home or an office. These whimsical images often serve as conversation pieces and communicate with the viewer that life is something to be enjoyed, rather than taken too seriously.
