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!
