Doggy style is a series of painting in oil and acrylic by the artist Vera Uvarova. The series counts more than 20 works whose main characters are dogs.
Since her arrival to the Raval neighbourhood of Barcelona, the artist has developed a striving to portray unban life and street art of the city through the dogs. Vera uses this animal as a metaphor for the street spirit that is roaming around the city in a restless search for food, shelter or even affection.
For the artist, the essence of her work is in retrieving street life of her characters, whom she has met throughout her life, mostly skaters, rappers, writers, street artists and various misfits. Artist's vision is not limited to Raval, but embraces similar communities like the Venice Beach in Los Angeles, California or Macba In Barcelona. Despite the touch of vulnerability typical for these communities, the artist seeks to highlight how they managed to become the centre of the affection and familiarity, governed by deeds and rules, the code of the street, based above all on the notion of respect.

Curator's statement
The work of Vera Uvarova takes as a basis confessional art, and body art. Through her paintings, the artist explores the concept of memory based on the remembrance of a past love. Employing small format canvases that resemble cinematographic frames, the artist recreates her memories through the impression of her breasts and vulva on the surface of the canvas, almost as if she recreated again and again her past sexual encounter. The memory that was stifled due to the stigmas and the conditioning factors of society, is reconsidered and taken by the artist as a source of inspiration for the claim of her own sexuality and her own narrative.
