Welcome to Modern Art Dog

This is the website for the Modern Art Dog project by Masters student Fiona Thomson currently studying for an MFA  degree at Grays School of Art (Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen). 

The Modern Art Dog practice studies the images of 'dog' in contemporary culture: how we use and manipulate the image to integrate our parallel species.  

This work will involve a series of paintings of 'found' (uninhibited and unobserved) images of dogs where our recognition of the 'animal' is synonymous with ourselves as 'other'. Many of the paintings will use colours based on reflections and tones found in source photographs.  The aim is to address how the presence of 'animal' initiates dialogue about who we are and our place in contemporary society.
