New York is a dog-loving town, a truth beautifully displayed in this “Dogs of New York” exhibition, featuring the Bic-pen illustrations of Israeli artist Shani Nizan.
"When you walk the streets of New York City, it's easy to feel lonely sometimes, until a dog passes by and looks at you as if they know you well. I usually initiate a small conversation with them until I remember that there is a person attached behind,” said Nizan per a press release.
The artist then decides to spread joy to the dog owners themselves by gifting them “human-animal” postcards of their pups. That act expanded into this art exhibition, where the creator delves into the dog culture of New York, exploring different breeds and neighborhoods throughout the city.
See the show at Moshava Art Gallery in the West Village through April 18.
