Janus’s “Year of the Dog” throbs with layers of splattered reds, yellows, and inky blacks. The fiery reds evoke devotion and protective passion—the warm heartbeat of the dog—while the blacks slash across the canvas like sudden leaps or paw-prints, conveying alertness and faithful vigilance. Lighter cream and pale yellow passages let the composition breathe, hinting at honesty and purity, qualities linked to the Dog in the Chinese zodiac. Thick impasto and interwoven drips suggest that loyalty is complex: a tapestry of instinct, affection, and fierce guardianship. Amid the apparent chaos, the painting maintains a poised equilibrium, mirroring the way a dog can be both sentinel and companion in one vibrant living form.
The Year of the Dog includes the years: 1910, 1922, 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018, and 2030.
