// Paloma Varga-Weisz’s Spike is a small, evocative bronze sculpture that presents a dog's head adorned with a ruffled collar, reminiscent of traditional portraiture. Measuring only 10 cm in diameter, the piece captures intricate details in the dog’s facial expression, giving it a dignified yet approachable presence. The ruffled collar around the neck lends a theatrical, almost regal quality, perhaps referencing the style of historical portraiture where animals were sometimes depicted with human attributes. Limited to an edition of 100, Spike embodies Varga-Weisz's unique approach to merging whimsy with classical art forms, imbuing the sculpture with personality and charm.

What is Surrealism?
Surrealism began in the 1920s as an art and literary movement with the goal of revealing the unconscious mind and unleashing the imagination by exploring unusual and dream-like imagery. Influenced by Sigmund Freud’s theories of psychoanalysis, Surrealist artists and writers sought to bring the unconscious into rational life, blurring the lines between reality and dreams. The movement aimed to challenge conventional perceptions and express the irrational aspects of the human experience.
