The Funny Art Gallery

While thinking about our Funny Art Gallery we intended to include all of Saint's humorous art across all lines. However, the artist's sense of humor is a part of so many works that we have decided to only include the greatest of his series, 'The Misadventurers of the Chickens'. The now famous 'Chickens' began when the artist's mother recalled a rare ice storm in her childhood. She recalled how the chickens, who had never seen ice, slid across the ice trying to reach the feed. The humor of this scene inspired Saint's first chicken painting...'Chickens on Ice'. The acceptance of this painting and the sale inspired another, and another until at this point the artist has painted over 25 paintings in his 'Misadventures of the Chickens'. Bookmark this page for when you need a laugh. Enjoy!!

This painting,'Chicken of the Sea', is considered to be a watershed painting in the series. The Chickens came of age here and showed their unlimited potential. This is one of the most popular of the series.

One, two, three, kick!! In 'Conga Line',the Chickens hint at their musical nature in this brightly colored and very lively addition the the series.

Here, Rufus and his hens make their first European appearance in 'Coq Au Vin' as they take over the wine making at a French winery. This original is part of a private collection in Beaufort,SC.

Life is not all fun for Chickens. In 'Egg Foo Young' it is even less fun for two foxes who picked the wrong chickens to mess with.

.

Their sense of adventure is highlighted here in 'Free Range Chickens'. These chickens will try anything....once! This original is part of a private collection in New York.

Both the artist's and Chicken's love of music is front and center in 'Jerk Chicken' Ahhhh..spicy!! This original is part of a private collection in New York.

In this tribute to the TV show 'The Iron Chef', Rufus subs for Iron Chef Michiba but has a little trouble with an uncooperative fish. This painting is part of the artist's private collection.

These images are from the artist first full exihibit of the Chickens in January 2006. Saint is now working on the next installment, "The Return of the Chickens", scheduled of January 2007. Please return to the Funny Art gallery to keep up with them.
