British Neo Pop artist Greg Holt was influenced by the work of Pop artists such as Andy Warhol and Jeff Koons. His work is a witty commentary on the contemporary culture of consumption, for example featuring crystals and candy as recurring motifs. His life-size animal shapes include pigs, panthers and classic hunting trophies such as insects, alligators and deer heads.
