This expressive oil painting is by Zsuzsanna Suger (born 1939), a Hungarian-born contemporary artist recognized for her imaginative, narrative-driven compositions that blend symbolic objects with dreamlike figuration.
Here, Suger presents a richly colored foo dog sculpture as the central subject, painted in saturated blues, greens, and golds, its animated expression lending both humor and tension to the composition. The background is softly layered with sketch-like figures and botanical elements, creating depth and an atmospheric, almost theatrical sense of place. This interplay between the solid, sculptural foreground and the ethereal background is particularly successful in this work and elevates it above more straightforward still lifes by the artist.
Executed in oil on canvas and signed lower left, the painting dates to circa 2000. It is housed in a vintage giltwood frame with attractive surface wear that complements the painting’s painterly, Old World aesthetic.
