Animal characters and animal hybrids, which are used as metaphors for human behavior, are the bearers of a rich heritage, ranging from fairy tales with moral teachings to classical literature as well as Aesop's fables. In all cultural narratives, animalizing is as a figurative expression, a phenomenon that is constantly used in the history of culture to reveal emotions, thoughts and ideals through indirect ways and to affect people psychologically, thus becoming the imagery often used in art and design. Animalizing, thanks to the surreal perception it creates, is one of the favorite subjects in fantastical narrative of today. Within this context, this study will focus on the world of imagery and the form language chosen by the artist Kathy Ruttenberg, who can be described as an illustrative painting-sculpture hybrid among contemporary artists. While analyzing Kathy Ruttenberg’s artistic language—enriched with plastic elements and inviting us to relate to mythology thanks to its symbolic nature, the artist’s work will be analyzed in terms of form and content, while at the same time the concept of animalizing and the artist’s language—especially with all contrasts created in her narrative expression—will be discussed.
