"Rooster and Turkey (after d'Hondecoeter),'' by SHELLY REED, in the show "Tiger in the Living Room,'' at  the Wheaton College Gallery, Norton, Mass., Oct. 23-Dec. 16.

 

Ms. Reed recontextualizes imagery gleaned from art-historical sources, typically combining elements from the work of such artists as Alexandre-Francois Desportes (1661-1743), Jean-Baptiste Oudry (1686-1755), Melchior d’Hondecoeter (1636-1695), and the horse paintings of George Stubbs.
