Animals in art Until 2 May 2010 The Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Art Museum’s exhibition entitled Animals in art features a menagerie of animals and other creatures, both weird and wonderful, from the Art Museum’s permanent collections. The works include paintings, drawings and sculptures that are grouped according to themes featuring domestic and wild animals, farm animals in pastoral settings, insects and abstract creatures and monsters of the deep. The artists have looked at animals and nature for inspiration, from Hylton Nel’s humorous worm and delightfully expressive cats to Gladys Mgudlandlu’s red-beaked crows, Ardmore Studio’s animal inspired designs, Derrick Erasmus’s exaggerated chameleons and Walter Oltmann’s cockroach.
