Drew Dodge's artwork combines elements of art history, including Baroque paintings and ancient bas-reliefs, to create a unique style. His use of fur as a compositional element draws inspiration from various sources, such as Kenneth Anger's psychedelic constructions and Jim Henson's puppetry. The artist's figures are reduced to their basic function, creating an abstract approach that balances presence and distance. This style is reminiscent of Carl Jung's concept of the "zoo-anthropic figure," a persona or mask that represents the artist's identity. Dodge's choice of dog as his primary subject brings to mind the Canadian collective General Idea's works featuring poodles, which symbolize identity, gender fluidity, and queer affirmation. The artist's use of fur also echoes Franz Kafka's novel "Forschungen eines Hundes" (Investigations of a Dog), where the protagonist is a dog narrating his own story, creating a sense of intimacy and self-discovery.
