Finally an art exhibit for the DOGS!! (and their hoomans too of course)

So.. I believe this may be the first dog art exhibit ever that is for DOGS (and their hoomans) that is made up entirely of DOG collage portrait art to showcase over 40+ different breeds as well as includes paintings from one talented painting pup!! Super stoked to be the human artist chosen for this project and I LOVE my four legged painting partner Rogan who created some of his own doggy painted masterpieces for this show!!

Harbour North in Hong Kong reached out to me a few months back to ask if I would consider being the artist for their Dog Art Exhibit 2021. I was reluctant at first, but as I learned more about the dog art exhibit, their plans for the show, as well as more about previous talented artists they've worked with, I proudly accepted and I feel blessed and honored that they chose my dog collage works for this project.

Everything about my art career has been unconventional! My Hong Kong dog art exhibit is definitely about as 'UNartworld' as it gets, and that is why I LOVE what I do!!! I connect with people through my art in such unusual ways.. so a dog art exhibit at Harbour North designed so that the puppers can be INCLUDED (artwork hung at their level, displays they can snap their pics at and tv screens looping the art in blue and yellow for them to see) is just so ME and so FUN! Thank you #HarbourNorth for wanting me to be the artist for your show! Much appreciated.

Below are some pictures of my dog collage art exhibit taken right before it opened. For all of my art collectors in the Hong Kong area please feel free to stop by Harbour North WITH your puppers, check out my art.. snap some pics with your furry friends! I'd love to see them tag @michel_keck_art so I can see you enjoying the art with your four legged bffs!
