Sue Coe created this black and white linocut print titled 'Luck' in 2007. This image presents a disturbing paradox: two hunters are taking aim at a goose while other animals appear to dance in celebration below. Coe is well known for her animal rights advocacy and her work as a political artist. This piece critiques the power dynamics between humans and animals, showing how hunting is framed as a sport, or a matter of 'luck', rather than a question of ethics. The composition is confrontational, and the graphic style is stark and unsettling. Coe's broader body of work, which includes paintings, illustrations, and comics, is a valuable resource for those interested in understanding the intersection of art and activism in contemporary society. By exploring such visual statements, we can better grasp the politics of imagery and the artist's role in challenging existing social norms.
