I featured A-young Lee’s dog paintings over a year ago. I discovered two pieces of her work on a Korean language dog art site called Merry & Happy, but I never managed to find more of her paintings. But I always remembered them. So I was thrilled when I recently received a note with a link to her website. Again, it’s all in Korean, so I don’t have much information, but her paintings speak for themselves.
I have never seen a dog artist work outside the canvas so successfully. Her pieces are clever and original without being gimmicky. Adorable but not cutesy. And they wonderfully capture the exuberance of dogs as subjects: impossible to contain. I normally have no trouble selecting a few of my favorites from a portfolio page, but I wanted to share every single one of Lee’s paintings with you. So this post has more images than usual. Visit her gallery page to see more extraordinary works with other creatures too. I especially like the hippo and the butterflies.
