Simon Schrikker has already depicted dozens of dogs, and each time in a different way. Because every dog is different and behaves differently. The real theme in his work is behavior, a subject that he develops so well that you feel the tension of the pose in every dog's body, no matter how abstract they become under the layers of paint that he allows to flow and overlap. How the dog tenses its muscles, whether it is afraid or not. The view is also not from above, as people usually see dogs, but from much closer, lower to the ground. The tension in the muscles is repeated in the paint: it is almost inimitable how Schrikker makes shapes and layers appear and disappear with oil paint.
