There will be no shortage of art exhibitions across the country celebrating man’s best friend this year. However, The Art Gallery in Penang is probably the first off the blocks with an exhibition called Year Of The Dog 2018, which captures the art and heartfelt stories put across by a diverse bunch of artists about their canine subjects.
The Art Gallery’s space, located on Bellisa Row in Pulau Tikus, is filled by all sorts of adorable, playful and mischievous paintings of canine breeds. The show, featuring 34 artworks from 15 artists, is presented through a broad spread of mediums such as oil paints, watercolour, Indian ink, ball pens, charcoal, colour pencils and even graphite on canvas, paper and wood.
