拍品資料及來源

凱斯‧哈林是當代同行藝術家中特立獨行的怪傑奇才,此作巧妙融合了他的藝術史造詣、日常生活環境、和他的標誌性圖案。《狗》的造型與古埃及冥界之神阿奴比斯有異曲同工之妙。阿奴比斯是人身胡狼頭的神祗,負責帶領亡者的靈魂進入往生世界。這令人聯想到藝術家所身處的上世紀八十年代,當時神秘的艾滋病在歐美開始肆虐,因染病而死亡的陰霾籠罩著紐約東村的社區,許多人因此失去性命。埃及藝術不但充滿象徵意義,而且也是一種刻畫在畫壁上的圖案和符號藝術,凱斯‧哈林融合各種元素,選擇以狗的形態結構來表達這種藝術。在現代世界,古代的象形文字被轉換成跳舞吠叫的狗、電視機、嬰孩、胸口劃著X符號、活蹦亂跳的人,光環和光線環繞著各種圖案,填滿了主體的軀幹。人與狗互動嬉鬧,為畫面注入生命的力量和喜悅。阿奴比斯不再是神話中平和安靜的死神,而是傳達藝術家為抗擊死亡而煥發的力量和創造力的使者。《狗》展現了藝術家震撼人心的藝術表達力,這種力量足以重塑藝術的定義和邊界。凱斯‧哈林將古典元素注入現代城市文化,混合各種門派別類、打破神聖與世俗之間的藩籬,他的作品不僅反映八十年代的社會環境,即使在當代社會亦引起廣泛共鳴。
