Watchdogs 2009

"Watchdogs" is a 2009 work by Ukrainian artist Pavlo Makov. The ink drawing depicts a surreal landscape with a central circular pattern surrounded by a ring of trees. In the center, a bird's-eye view shows a dog within a fenced area. The simple line work evokes a sense of surveillance and confinement. The piece embodies a theme of observation and control, reflecting Makov's interest in social commentary and the complexities of power dynamics. The artwork is a testament to the artist's ability to weave complex narratives within seemingly simple visual compositions.
