CATASTROPHE is an art exhibit featuring 20 different stellar artists and is dedicated to the feline kind, at F+ Gallery in Santa Ana. August 16-September 13, 2014. The independent spirit of the cat makes them seductive and elusive. They are a perfect muse for creative thinkers, writers, musicians and artists. The wild nature of the feline gives insight into the tumultuous relationship between cat and human. At times throughout art history, the cat has been elevated to that of a god or deity, while at other times it has been cast down and subjected to unimaginable cruelty as a supposed demon or sorcerer’s apprentice.In CATASTROPHE, we invite artists to explore and investigate this stormy relationship between cat and human. This exhibition aims to go beyond the devoted representation of felines as domesticated companions, and rather explores their role as muse and inspiration. CATASTROPHE is a contemporary investigation of the pertinent presence of the cat in our artistic lives.
