We share our planet with other living creatures: they have been hunted, feared, revered, domesticated and recorded in humankind's earliest art. The theme for this year's 440 Gallery theme show is animals, from Amoeba to Zebra. Any medium, including painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, collage, assemblage, video or computer generated art, as long as the work pertains to animals, is welcome.
