NOTICE
French contemporary artist Julien Marinetti is renowned for his colorful, iconic sculptures, among which the Doggy series occupies a central place. These bulldog-shaped sculptures feature richly worked and painted surfaces, in which Marinetti freely blends influences from pop art, street art and expressionism. Each of Doggy's works is unique, transforming this faithful companion into a veritable three-dimensional canvas where colors, motifs and symbols are superimposed.
Beyond their playful aesthetic, Marinetti's Doggies explore themes such as identity and mass culture, playing with the codes of contemporary art and everyday life. These sculptures are made in bronze or resin, then meticulously hand-painted, combining traditional craftsmanship and modernity in a strikingly original format.
Close to artists such as Jeff Koons, for his use of popular figures, and Takashi Murakami for his colorful, graphic approach, Marinetti's Doggy is part of a bold, accessible artistic approach. His works are highly prized by contemporary art collectors for their humor, vitality and ability to transform a familiar object into a unique, meaningful piece.
