Funny cow art is a category of art that features cows in ironic, amusing, or improbable ways. These humorous bovine paintings are usually whimsical rather than realistic in execution. However, due to the diversity of this art style, these whimsical animal images are admired by art enthusiasts of all ages.
Many artists choose to employ surreal styles in executing their funny cow art. These works range from the strange, such as 'Showering is No Laughing...' by Rob Scotton to the whimsical, as seen in 'Yoga Cow Sun Salutation'. Although the majority of these humorous animal paintings are heavily stylized, there are also works of funny representational cow art that also employ surrealism, an element that is clearly seen in the surreal farm art, 'Cow I- The Sniffer' Eoin O'Connor.
Like many humorous animal paintings, this category of art relies on personifying, or applying human characteristics to, these domestic animals. These personified animal prints include aspects of human behavior, which range from human-like expressions, as seen in 'Troupeau', to actual human behavior, as represented in the humorous animal print 'Volleyball' by Alfred Gockel.
Funny cow art is an excellent decorative choice for any area of the home, especially in rooms where younger children are frequently present. These personified animal prints provide a lighthearted atmosphere to any space and are friendly enough to not only be sought after in the home but in professional venues, as well.
