Dog artist Brigitte Boss

Dog artist Brigitte Boss: your dog immortalized in bronze.

Every dog is unique, with its own character and appearance. Brigitte Boss, dog artist with years of experience, knows better than anyone else how to capture these special characteristics in her bronze portraits and urn ash sculptures. From the playful look of a young dog to the soft, wise eyes of a faithful companion, her work captures the soul of your dog in a way that transcends words.

As a dog artist, Brigitte works closely with dog owners to create an image that does justice to their four-legged friend’s character. Whether it is an energetic, happy dog who is always on the move, or a calm and thoughtful dog who gives you unconditional trust, every detail is handled with care. The result is a personal artwork that combines emotion, love and remembrance.

The horse and dog has inspired art since time immemorial. From the earliest cave drawings through Greek and Roman equestrian statues to Napoleon on horseback to finally arrive at Maurizio Cattelan’s stuffed ceiling horses. The noble animal is companion and muse for many. So too for Brigitte Boss. Her bronze sculptures focus on the animal’s movement and use a special patina to approximate the skin of a horse stretched tightly around its muscles. Brigitte is self-taught and averse to the conventions found in this genre. No pedestals, no static poses and above all: look closely and sculpt.

Life-size sculptures and miniatures.

Her life-size sculptures and miniatures stand out for their vividness of movement and unusual skin. The surface of these sculptures is whimsical and wrought, as seen in the great Impressionist sculptors. She seeks the inspiration and devotion to both nature and art as one can find in artists like Franz Marc and Medardo Rosso. They too sought a representation of their subject beyond what one thinks one sees. A making process that demonstrates a carefully constructed, empathetic relationship to what is to be captured in the sculpture. Sculptures that are not conceived but that almost manifest themselves from motor memory and subconscious knowledge about the subject before the eye of the maker. Work that contains a piece of the soul of both the person portrayed and the maker.

Careful and empathetic making process.

By explicitly showing this careful and empathetic making process in the skin of the final cast sculpture, work is created with a certain sense of momentum. You can feel the muscle tension and follow the expression. These animals really stand on their legs. Brigitte’s thumbs are in the folds of the skin and the anatomy follows that of the horse or dog portrayed in detail. In doing so, she wants to honour what, in her view, is one of the most important characteristics of the animal. The horse and dogs are constantly in motion and communicates its own complex personality mainly through body language. Brigitte understands much of this language and knows how to approach the character and essence of an animal in her sculptures.

With a working method that treats its chosen subject with such integrity, a suitable presentation spot also belongs. The Brigitte Boss Museum – a converted horse stable, garden and studio – is at the heart of TAK Art Space
