South Florida “Dog Artist” Skip Hartzell Exhibiting at Aqua Art Miami during Art Basel Week

Announcing renowned dog artist Skip Hartzell‘s exhibition at Aqua Art Miami Room #124 during Miami Art Week this coming December 5-9, 2018. Artist Skip Hartzell creates dog-inspired art for art lovers and dog lovers alike, but he’s not your typical “dog artist” by any means. Hartzell is not a dog-painter, but instead an artist who is keen on exploring the movement, form, and energy embodied by man’s best friend.

Sculpture 16 x 16 x 12 Inches, and ‘The Muse Returns’ (2018) Mixed Media on Paper, 53 x 48 Inches.

“Dogs are always in the moment. Although nothing in life has held my attention longer or has been more fascinating to me than dogs, my work is about much more than that. It is about form, movement, color and texture. The dogs are a recognizable common denominator that allows me to communicate my joy of living, passions and sentiments,” said Skip Hartzell.

‘Dog #19’, Resin, Paper, Concrete, 11 x 12 Inches.

Hartzell creates unique pieces, from paintings, sculptures, works on paper, to wall installations. All of the work is rich with intricacies of color and technique. His painterly expression captures each dog’s own personality with beautiful textures, line and brush strokes using mixed media to bring each dog to life. Hartzell creates directly from his emotions and instincts, his work is inspired by dogs of all shapes, sizes and varieties.
