British artist Keith Tyson has been praised to the skies (he won the Turner prize in 2002) and is known for his cerebral approach to fine art. He’s also famous for incorporating duel fascinations with science and philosophy into his work…all of which is good to know, but we like him best for his work with animal forms. These include roosters, walruses, penguins, bucks and humans, among others––always incorporated slyly and smartly into the work. “Nature is much better at painting than I am,” Tyson has said. It’s also pretty good at designing creatures.
