Love At The Table reflects the absolute absurdity and humor of the Funk movement. Gilhooly was probably the most involved of Robert Arneson’s students at Davis in the movement which rejected the elitism of art. Since the 1970s, the subject of frogs consumed his work. He developed extensive “frog worlds” which document the history, ethnology, religion, and myths of this frog civilization. His works both parody and demystify human civilization.
David Gilhooly (1943-2013) was originally a Biology major, then Anthropology major, and finally an Art major. Gilhooly attended the University of California, Davis for his B.A.(1965) and M.A (1967). There he was the assistant to the ceramicist Robert Arneson, who is considered the father of Funk Art.
