The birds in this exhibition have been executed in typical graceful Hooke style. Says artist and curator Eric Ernst (Sag Harbor, NY): “Robert Hooke’s figures straddle the often intractable line between realism and abstraction. This is also apparent in his works featuring animals from the natural world whose recreation is dependent not on aspects of scientific illustration nor the majestic idealizations of the nineteenth century “Animalier” artists."
