From pudgy pugs to a precisely groomed poodle to a deliriously happy Shiba Inu, Misato Sano<\/a>\u2019s waggish pups emerge from single blocks of wood. The artist (previously<\/a>) chisels expectant eyes and goofy grins, revealing individual personalities that showcase each breed\u2019s distinctive look and attitude.<\/p>\n

Misato views our canine companions as mirrors of our own personalities, and she began making these sculptures as reflections of her own thoughts and emotions, from excitement to worry to longing. Each portrayal channels myriad ways dogs can be free and open in their expressions of devotion, passion, and play.<\/p>\n

Her solo exhibition will open this October at Cyg Gallery<\/a> in Morioka City, Iwate, Japan. Find more on the artist\u2019s website<\/a> and Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n
