Oscar the Scottish Terrier

Whimsical in terracotta, Oscar the Scottish Terrier is a sculpture by the emerging Thai artist Nhut Nhathawut. With an expression that is so lifelik that it feels he may bark at any moment, there are a number of artisanal aspects to the canine sculpture. This includes the obvious strokes of the artist’s tools that play along the surface of the dog’s body. Brownlee Currey had some fun with this terrier, describing his reality as, “The aloof, intelligent, pure breed of our pack, he disapproves of everyone else’s shenanigans. Unlike his namesake, he does not live in a garbage can and smells of fresh cut hay.”
