Basset Hound is an intervened porcelain sculpture by Miguel Guía, a work in which the artist transforms a pre-existing figure, giving it a new artistic identity and a distinctly contemporary presence.
The Basset Hound’s relaxed posture, long drooping ears and expressive volumes convey serenity, nobility and an unmistakable personality. Miguel Guía enhances these qualities through an intense purple finish that covers the entire porcelain surface, unifying the figure while emphasising its folds, curves and anatomical details.
The original object remains recognisable, yet its interpretation is completely transformed. Miguel Guía thus establishes a dialogue with the tradition of the found object and the ready-made, introducing a direct artistic intervention that turns the piece into a unique creation. Basset Hound emerges from this encounter between an existing form and the artist’s vision, transforming a familiar object into a contemporary sculpture with a striking visual presence.
