London-based Swedish designer Agnetha Sjögren has been creating one-off art dog sculptures for the past couple of years. They have received extensive press coverage in various editorial publications such as Vogue, Elle and Design Week as well as being shortlisted for the Summer Show at The Royal Academy of Arts.
“The art-dogs started because I got tired of all people telling me that their dog was nice! I am afraid of dogs and I wanted to show people what a ‘nice’ dog is.
My dogs don’t eat, bark, jump, bite, drool or need to go out for a poop.
They sit or stand ‘nicely’ all day long, you can come and go as you please without having to worry about them…
Now that is a ‘nice’ dog!”
Currently being sold to art collectors and luxury brands in the USA, Canada, the UK, Holland, Sweden and Japan these dogs are adored around the world. They have been invited to fashion shows in New York and Moscow as well as having been recently exhibited at the high-end fashion store Lane Crawford in Hong Kong.
These one-off handmade sculptures are authenticated with their own personalised name tag, collar and unique story detailed within a signed mini passport. Limited edition prints of 25 are also available of some of the dog sculptures. Bespoke edition sculptures can be made to order upon discussion of your requirements.
Agnetha is currently working on a selection of recycled chairs called ‘ Sit! ‘ and also a limited ‘Flags’ collection of large scale wall-pieces.
