Isabella Garrucho Fine Art Gallery debuts their newest solo exhibition featuring a collection of anthropomorphic pet portraits by accomplished NYC-based artist, Rachelle Oatman. As part of the month-long, solo exhibition, Isabella Garrucho Gallery will donate a portion of proceeds from all sales to PAWS of Greenwich – a local nonprofit and collective of animal lovers working to make Greenwich more pet-friendly.
The partnership continues with a PAWS Pop Up Shop at the gallery on Saturday, June 23. Local pet brands and artisans will be on site selling a variety of products. PAWS of Greenwich will also be on site with educational information about responsible pet ownership, pet owner resources and more. A portion of proceeds from all sales will be donated to PAWS of Greenwich.
Rachelle Oatman brings the urban myth that dog owners tend to look like their dogs – to a whole new level – with carefully crafted, manipulated portraits that combine people’s bodies with animal heads – normally dogs. From commissioned paintings that intricately combine a pet with the body and personality of its owner; to unique anthropomorphic characters featuring a portrait of a dog with a body dressed in vibrant fashions – each are intricately detailed to resemble the animal and reflect the personalities of both subjects.
