Dog Sculpture

Ryuji Mitani

• Introduction

  I am a Dog Sculpture. Keep still in the hot, hard dog-days and they too will pass.

   

• Curator's Notes 

   

  As part of Ryuji Mitani’s first foray into ceramics and sculpture, this piece embodies the care that Mitani used to form each sculpture by hand. We are mesmerized by the great attention to detail that Mitani works with to mimic the natural texture of the animals he depicts. The dog's fur is lightly brushed with lacquer giving a lively appearance to the piece.
