CATS, A Fine Arts Exhibition

"From the dawn of time, cats have fascinated artists. Beloved by Hemmingway and despised by the inquisition, cats have adapted to life among humans without compromising their wild nature. Their fuzzy faces represent an eternal existentialist struggle of animal instinct for freedom against the comforts of modern society. 
This exhibition represents nine Ohio artists who have a compulsion to create work inspired by their feline companions. Ranging from installation art to painting, they brave the contemporary arts world refusing to give up their live for kitsch aesthetic while revolutionizing our understanding of reality"
