AGNETHA SJÖGREN Agnetha hails from Sweden and has been based in London for more than 15 years. She creates unique hand-crafted dog sculptures using first edition vintage comic books and bespoke fabric. Agnetha’s background as a designer makes quality and sustainability the focus of her creative thinking. Drawing inspiration from the relationship between urban life and nature, her work has been bought into private collections and luxury brands all over the world and was featured in The Aesthetica Wish List 2011 alongside Stella McCartney and Louis Vuitton. Agnetha says: “The art-dogs started because I got tired of people telling me that their dog was nice! I am afraid of dogs and I wanted to show people what a ‘nice’ dog is. My dogs don’t eat, bark, jump, bite or drool. They sit or stand ‘nicely’ all day long, you can come and go as you please without having to worry about them. Now that is a ‘nice’ dog!”
