PUG PAINTINGS 2016
Lahav obsessed with the strange cuteness of pugs. He has two pugs at home, Momo and Beeper. In 2016 Lahav became fascinated by the 'pug internet', a collection of websites and social media exclusively about pugs. In 2015 he created an instagram account for Momo, his pug, who now has over 30k followers (@momopug2000). The fantastic/bizarre elements of instagram dogs as a medium for proxy representation necessitated deeper exploration of the pug-net. In 2016, Lahav and Momo created a pug website at www.pugcity.org (a pug content aggregate site, including interviews with Momo's instagram pug friends) and published a Pug Jokebook (Available on Amazon HERE )
Below are some paintings which came out of this journey.
