Well, hello Kitty...

A series of painting inspired by the stone lions found in cities across the world. They are silent gatekeepers in the urban jungle.

Cats, cats, everywhere cats. In old cities and new. Stone cats. Marble cats. Wooden cats. Plastic cats. Pompous cats. Big cats. Minding gates. Looking for predators. Warning against the enemy. They prey. They prowl. The nocturnal giants surround us. Their fixed gazes are frozen in stone and their authority is masked by the urban cacophony. But their power lives inside us and our subconscious. In times like these, we need to channel our inner ‘Big Cat’.
