'Dog With Bones' prints December 15 2015

‘Dog With Bones’ is the latest in a series of sold out print editions by British artist SHOK-1.

The original wall piece was painted in London earlier in 2015, at a street location not far from the Tate Modern museum. It features a version of the iconic Keith Haring dog from the 80's rendered in the artist’s signature X-ray style. It was painted entirely in freehand spraypaint using no masking tape or stencils, a unique process pioneered by the artist. It is an evolution of techniques refined over 30 years of working in the medium.

'Dog With Bones' street piece

Somewhere between pastiche and parody, it is intended as a kind of diagnosis of the original artwork and Haring in general. SHOK-1 elaborates, “I feel that Haring's relevance to his own time period is analogous to the relationship between graffiti and street art in current times." The work also has some humour to it, a playful and unexpected take on an animal X-ray.
