Zhou Chunya's Green Dogs Invade Indonesia
Green Dog Sculpture 2006
Contemporary Chinese artist Zhou Chunya's famous Green Dogs are on display at the Indonesian National Gallery from now until February 1. Zhou's work, an intriguing mix of traditional Chinese painting and German Expressionism (he recieved his master's degree in Kassel, Germany) has become identified with his famous Green Dog, who is based on his pet German Shepherd who he painted for over 10 years.
Sadly, the dog has since passed away from suspicious circumstances. Zhou believes he was poisoned by a neighbor. But much like George Rodrigue found solace in painting his beloved Blue Dog after her death, Zhou's Green Dog continues to inspire him and dog art lovers around the world.
I couldn't determine which pieces are in the show, so I curated my own exhibition here at Dog Art Today. Enjoy.

P.S. If you're interested in contemporary Chinese art, I highly recommend Nell Freudenberger's novel The Dissident
