Konstverk Lekande hund

• Playing dog” (or “Playful dog”).

The sculpture you described, created by artist Lena Cedergren, captures the playful spirit of a dog. Despite being made of bronze, it appears soft and friendly. The intention is to invite interaction—this dog can be patted and even sat upon.

Lena Cedergren primarily works with bronze, and animals have always been a central theme in her art. Whether it’s a lion or a horse, she aims to create portraits that capture personality rather than just the species.

As Lena herself expressed, "I want to encourage viewers to touch and engage with the sculpture. Sculptures shouldn’t be kept behind glass cabinets; they should be part of our surroundings, aging beautifully through constant human contact."1

Feel free to pat the dog and play with it! 🐶
