Bryan Drury: Bird of Prey

"Everyone here is afraid; I see sheep. To listen to sheep talking is a funny thing, they baa and laugh and think they are protected which is basically the same thing as lying to themselves because it is law to never look up. 

Lest they see us birds of prey, waiting." -Ryan Tiberti

"I like to imagine a future without humans, a surreal realm where the taxidermied animals I paint are imbued with life and reclaim a world where they prey upon the brooding influences of human culture." - Brian Drury
