Ceramic Greyhounds’ “Tattooed” Coats Read Like Dreams

Brazil­ian artist Eve­lyn Tan­nus paints beau­ti­ful sur­face designs on ele­gant ceram­ic stat­ues of Grey­hound dogs. She turns their nor­mal­ly-neu­tral-col­ored coats to hues like mint green, sky blue, and lilac. In addi­tion, Eve­lyn draws flow­ers, geo­met­ric pat­terns, human fig­ures, and much, much more on the dogs’ bod­ies and heads. I love see­ing how the seem­ing­ly dis­parate imagery flows togeth­er, as if we’re wit­ness­ing her stream of con­scious­ness or dreams.

You can find many more of these cre­ations on her web­site.

Eve­lyn also cre­ates dec­o­rat­ed fists. This is my way of say­ing “rock on” and hap­py weekend!
