Fetch 48×48″

in Command Series, Gallery by tonysavoie — January 18, 2010 at 15:53 | 0 comments

This is an early piece from the Command Series, dealing with common attributes of dogs and men.  Positive canine qualities like absolute loyalty and trust are less appealing in people as greed for treats trumps all other possibilities.  This piece has two layers of painted acrylic, with a transfer of stock market quotes in the background. An obvious reference to a preposterous system of ravenous greed, organized in neat little columns of harmless looking numbers.

The image was used as the T Shirt art for the 2009 Gasparilla Festival of the Arts in Tampa.
