As you can see in this humourous image, acting scary is far from the mind of the sweet little black creature as he lets his owner cuddle him, whilst wearing a sheepish expression.

He looks more like a huge cuddly teddy bear rather than anything to be afraid of!

The colours are simple and the image is also depicted this way, allowing us not to be distracted from Hyde's subjects by over complicating their forms or surroundings.

The bronze sculpture is simple in it's image and characters, allowing us not to be distracted from Hyde's subjects by over complicating their forms or surroundings.

It is most direct and to not point which is a quality in which many favour in Hyde's creative works.

Probably one of Doug's most iconic early images from circa 2004, 'Beware Of The Dog' has now been brought to life as an oversize resin sculpture featuring: man, man's best friend and a dog lead, simples!

It's fitting that Doug Hyde has painted a follow up to his original limited edition print with 'Beware Of The Dog II' (limited edition print on paper & canvas) and I am so pleased they decided to also treat us with this wonderful re-imagination in sculpture.

I think these two resin sculptures from the 'Love Counts collection' are some of the strongest (in terms of collectability) yet released and will be highly sort after once sold out.

Finally this image has been produced in the tangible and touchable medium of sculpture & this brings you closer than ever to these two lovable Hyde characters.
