Running Dog

The painting titled Running Dog exemplifies dynamic Animal painting with bold, expressive strokes characteristic of Neo-expressionism. It captures a dog's swift movement, emphasizing its genetic roots, as modern dogs share a common ancestry with extinct Late Pleistocene wolves. The artwork metaphorically explores the domestication process—from wolf to dog—highlighting the deep evolutionary connection and the influence of gene flow. Its vigorous style celebrates the animal’s agility and instinct, blending natural history with contemporary art movement aesthetics to evoke both biological origins and emotional resonance.
