David Gilhooly was born in Auburn, California, in 1943.
In 1961 he enrolled at UC Davis, where he intended to study biology,
As a student he became the assistant of Robert Arneson,
and was part of a coterie of artists who would establish the Bay Area Funk Art movement,
a group known for poking fun at high culture through sculptures made of clay,
and simultaneously adding new vision and vitality to ceramic arts.
Gilhooly began making irrevent depictions of food and animals, most notably frogs.

While Gilhooly produced a range of animals and foodstuffs,
ranging from fruits and vegetables to towering sandwiches and ice cream sundaes,
in glossy-clay, he is most remembered for his visionary ¡°Frog World,¡±
an amphibian universe inspired by our own.
The ¡°Frog World¡± is complex, satirical, philosophical reflection on society and existence.
Beginning with functional ceramics like Frogenstein (a cup from 1970)
and the Frog Mounties, Scourge of the Outlaw (a jar from the same year),
the creations became ever more outrageous, with depictions of Egyptian gods,
Queen Victoria and the Andrews Sisters, frogs in frying pans,
wedding cakes and other settings, even a frog crucifixion.
Gilhooly¡¯s art chronicles the shifting expectations of clay
in a world changed by Pop Art and Funk Ceramics.
