Val Sivilli: BEASTS of Hunterdon
County
“People collect animals. We
collect them in zoos, in our homes, in our
stories, in our popular culture. We try to
humanize them, observe them, enslave them to
perform for us and to work for us. We infuse
them with human traits through our movies,
animations and literature. We mindlessly and
greedily eradicate their native environments
in service of our own.” —Sivilli
Step into a world where the wild
reigns supreme. Val Sivilli’s work in this
exhibition challenges us to see animals not
just as companions or symbols, but as
powerful entities in their own right. These
strikingly large paintings elevate the
beasts, giving them a confrontational
presence to remind us of their significance
in our lives.
