30X30 Archival Ink Print. 1 of 1

Black Gallery Frame. Each Print is a one of a kind layout of 99 Cows.

Chris Mazzarella’s original series of fine art ink prints. The works feature a strident figurative style with cartoon-like imagery.

The series has been described as having “a precise and refined neo-expressionist aesthetic”.

Inspired by both the graffiti subculture of the 1980s and early post-modernist painter’s such as Hunt Slonem.

The primary subject of these works is a wide-eyed cow, stacked one upon another in various configurations. The blank gaze of the huddled cows appears to communicate a message to the viewer. A contemplative viewing can lead one to imagine the cows as a deliberately huddled pasturing herd; or conversely, as an overly crowded penned-in group of livestock. Chris intentionally leaves the viewer to decide if the composition is either playful or provocative.
