Top Trumps

18th April - 21st April 2026

The Wooden Box Gallery

Curator Harry Pye invited artists he admired to produce a pug portrait of their own... find them on display at the Wooden Box Gallery in Ramsgate

Open 10.30am - 3.30pm

William Hogarth owned a pug that he named Trump.

Hogarth included Trump the pug in several of his paintings including his famous 1745 self portrait which is often on display at Tate Britain.

25 years ago a statue of Hogarth and Trump (made by Jim Mathieson) was unveiled outside Hogarth's House in Chiswick.

Sir Peter Blake wanted to help raise funds for the Hogarth Trust so he made prints of a drawing that he had made of Trump.

Curated by Harry Pye, this exhibition will include 20 pug portraits by artists including Peter Blake, Adam Dant, Jerry Dammers, Martin Rowson, and John Hegley... It's up to the viewer to decide which dog is best in show!
