George Rodrigue
Black on My Back

1992

About the Item

An absolutely incredible mixed media original on canvas board by George Rodrigue from the prime of his career. This piece features a hand pulled silkscreen of the Blue Dog by the hand of the artist, with heavy painting and additions to the Blue Dog. The piece features a hand painted black and purple background, with lines to excentsiate the iconic blue dog, fun additions to the Blue Dog's eyelashes to add a bit of flair, and light blue additions to create depth in paint. The piece is offered in the same hand painted blue frame undertaken by the artist's personal framer, which provides a further pop of color and adds to the unique style of this singular work! Signed in blue paint on the Blue Dog, "Rodrigue." Also signed and titled en verso "Black on My Back, Rodrigue, 1992."
