These sweet images of cats, dogs, pigs, goats, rabbits, monkeys, ducks and other animals are installed throughout the main gallery, each one vying for our attention, love and possible adoption.
With one exception, Du chose paintings that depict historical events notable for their violence, with one outlier: the Vermeer, wherein science and reason are highlighted.
In contrast to the animals, they are composed of loose gestural brush strokes which obscure most of the source image.
Through Du's juxtaposition of animal and human, precise and loose and adorable and horrible, he suggests a world view that is more than black and white.
