Framed You Must Accept the Frog

Billy Murphy is a British contemporary artist beloved around the world for his charming paintings of animals. In pairing his bears, dinosaurs, cats and more with philosophical or nonsensical statements, Murphy creates relatable art designed to uplift and amuse. 

In this artwork, a disembodied hand offers up an unusual but welcome gift. Speaking of the piece, Murphy reveals:  

“The idea just popped into my head one morning. I particularly like my more absurd artworks that make people laugh and think, ‘what are you on about?’” 

Billy invites us to accept whatever life throws at us, facing difficult tasks head-on and overcoming obstacles. 

This silkscreen print is from a limited edition of 25, signed and numbered by the artist.
