" Beagle " by Alex Zeng

This art collage piece depicting a Beagle dog captures the character of the animal well, small but proud, always attentively looking out for the next exciting event. Pale cuttings from maps and posters make great patches of color for this dog, while darker cells are chosen to create shadow and the sense of depth. It’s curious how collage can both complete a picture in this fashion while also breaking away from the usual image of the subject, giving us a chance to re-examine and appreciate the humble Beagle.
