Austin, Texas - Artists & Activists for Animal Rights (AAAR) is pleased to announce the inclusion of "Contradiction of the Innocent" by Jo Frederiks in their online Animal Rights Gallery. Jo Frederiks, a dedicated full-time artist from Australia, employs graphite as her medium of choice to convey thought-provoking messages that shed light on the contradictions surrounding our treatment of animals.
"Contradiction of the Innocent" depicts a young child enjoying a McDonald's hamburger while affectionately petting a cow at a petting zoo. Through this artwork, Frederiks captures the inherent hypocrisy in our actions, juxtaposing the innocence of the child with the reality of the animal's exploitation, suffering, and death. The word "hypocrisy" prominently features within the piece, serving as a powerful reminder of the contradictions that exist in our relationship with animals.
Jo Frederiks is an accomplished artist who has exhibited her exceptional work in numerous solo, joint, and group exhibitions. With a deep-rooted connection to nonhuman animals fostered by her upbringing on a million-acre cattle station in central Queensland, Australia, Frederiks uses her art to expose the hidden plight of animals subjected to enslavement, exploitation, and needless use for food, clothing, entertainment, and research.
