Tein Lucasson

From Mr stripe the zebra to Elvis the cockatoo Tein Lucasson’s anthropomorphic art transforms animals around the world into aristocrats of bygone eras. Sometimes sporting ruffs, sometimes wearing war medals, cats, cockatoos, and chihuahuas form a happy menagerie of courtiers that are more than happy to pose for portraits and be immortalised on canvas. Tein’s L’Animorphe project began in his Amsterdam studio by profiling his own beloved labradoodle Ventje McDoodle. Since then, he has painted pets from Marseille to Melbourne in his unique style.
