Original artwork description:

“Beware of the Dog” by Inga Makarova is a bold and thought-provoking mixed-media artwork that demands attention. Measuring 120x150x4 cm, this piece combines the vivid intensity of a textured red canvas with the harsh industrial presence of a metallic grid. The grid creates a sense of restriction and protection, an imposing structure that feels both confining and secure.

However, the narrative takes an unexpected turn with the playful addition of a small, meticulously painted Chihuahua in the lower corner. This lighthearted detail disrupts the otherwise severe atmosphere of the piece, forcing the viewer to question the meaning of danger and safety. Inga’s artwork skillfully explores the tension between perception and reality, offering a narrative that is at once personal and universal. Its striking visual impact and layered themes make it an essential conversation starter for collectors of contemporary art.
