Will Ryman in ‘Dog Days of Summer’ at Timothy Taylor Gallery

Dogs take the stage in Timothy Taylor’s summer group show ‘Dog Days of Summer,’ an exhibition featuring canine-themed artworks by over 50 artists.  A few animals play supporting roles to humans, but the majority star in their own performance as they wisely look at to sea (Sean Landers), raise a stream-lined muzzle to pluck fruit from a table (Justin Liam O’Brien) or pose with a haloed head while barking (Peter Saul).  Here, Will Ryman’s stainless-steel dog shines like a precious object as it raises its elegant head in an expressive howl.  (On view through Aug 23rd).
