About this work

This print shows a bright orange dog with its front legs stretched out, standing over a purple, almost blob-like face. The background is split into bold blocks of blue, red, and purple, with rough, uneven lines. The dog’s fur is marked with quick, scratchy strokes, while the face looks almost melted. The artist used a woodcut method—chopping shapes into wood and inking them—so the lines are sharp and the colors flat. The dog’s pose feels tense, like it’s guarding the face below. Look up woodcut to see how artists carve and print images like this.
