Siamese Dog/s (Acrylic on Canvas)


My wife was at Value Village with me today and I had to get her input on this one, as to whether or not it was printed onto the canvas ie mass-produced, or not? The canvas felt…plastic-y to me. Her initial opinion was that it was printed. But I pointed out A) the globby paint in places versus the underuse of paint in others,  2) the paint on the back and sides of the canvas, and £) the general high weirdness of the execution/composition. We decided it’s one-of-a-kind, not mass-produced. I mean LOOK at it. What sane person would want thousands of these things flooding Targets, Walmarts and K-Marts all over the country?!?

I’m kidding, of course. I actually DO like this and I sincerely mean it. It’s just…odd is all. It almost feels Medieval with the pattern of squares and the blanket. Do you know what I mean? 

The dogs are a bit jacked up though, for sure. Did you ever see The Thing (1982)?
