Larry Blizard Redefines Wildlife Through Pencil And Paper

ADVERTISEMENT

For artist, Larry Blizard, there exists a fascinating niche where the boundaries between species blur and the familiar becomes extraordinary. Enter his world of masterfully drawn animals in everyday human scenarios that transcend the mere portrayal of creatures in anthropomorphic roles. The artist celebrates the beauty of the animal kingdom while also challenging us to explore the complexities of our own humanity.

Through meticulous strokes of pencil on paper, Blizard’s artwork serves as a mirror reflecting the complexities of our own condition through the guise of animals. What appears at first glance as whimsical illustrations of wildlife engaging in silly antics unveils itself as a profound commentary on society, culture, and our shared existence.

Imbued with a sense of narrative, these drawings invite viewers into a dialogue—an exploration of themes that are both personal and universal. Each artwork tells a story that is as unique as it is compelling. Drawing is not merely a creative activity; it is a profound exploration of the human experience—one that invites us all to pause, reflect, and see the world through a different lens.

To view more of Larry Blizard’s artwork, please visit The Art Gallery at the Rockefeller State Park Preserve, 125 Phelps Way, Pleasantville, New York from August 18th through September 15th or contact the curator at (914) 631-1470, rockefellergallery@gmail.com.

    Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
