LYDIA BLAKELEY – DOG SHOW
2021-01-04Dog Show, is a online solo exhibition of new paintings by Lydia Blakeley that depict dogs and their owners in competition at British dog shows. Positioned against a background of green, Blakeley puts the dogs in the leading role while their owners are the supporting actors. Part status symbol and part family member, the dogs symbolize prestige, loyalty and protection. According to Blakeley, “there is something captivating about the dogs’ expressions. They are endearing, and I like to think of these paintings as little scenes from one big performance.”
Opposite – Maltesers, 2020
Exhibition runs through to January 16th, 2021
