Critic Reviews

“This brightly coloured homage to George Orwell's timely allegory is heartbreaking and elegant . Odyr's images of animals casting off their bonds and then living with the results of their revolution are painterly and evocative, both loose and illuminating.”

This brightly coloured homage to George Orwell's timely allegory is heartbreaking and elegant. Odyr's images of animals casting off their bonds and then living with the results of their revolution are painterly and evocative, both loose and illuminating.

The New York Times
Odyr's rich brushstrokes do much to enhance the experience of Orwell's brand of satire New York Journal of Books
Odyr's expressive watercolour palette strikes a visceral note that matches the intensity of Orwell's original text ... He skillfully evokes the mood of the countryside and the plot's shocking violence; the atmosphere and emotions are spot-on Publisher's Weekly
