Artist friends who love cats@Kitano Ijinkan Street 2023.2.17.fri-2.26.sun

“Feline-Loving Artist Companions” exhibition, which started at Kobe Kitano Museum of Art, will be held again this year in Kitano Ijinkan District. This year, the popular “Sad Chubby Cat, Maru,” featured in the Kobe newspaper series, will also arrive there on the 18th.

“Feline-Loving Artist Companions” features a total of 47 artists this year. Please look forward to their artworks, brimming with love for cats, which are upgraded every year.

In addition, a stamp rally will be held at both WORLD TIMES in Shukugawa and Bricolage in Kitano during the same period. Limited edition cat can badges will be given as gifts. A portion of the proceeds will be used for local cat protection activities.

At Bricolage, there will also be an exhibition and sale of artworks by participating artists in the Micro Canvas Project this year.

Exhibition overview

They all have the same form, yet everything is different.

Calm faces, faces engrossed in something before them, sleepy faces, faces that seem to see through you, faces?
Gazes that observe you, gazes that look far away, gazes that are doing something, postures?
Things that behave like humans, things that behave like gods, things?
A space packed with expressions that you can experience all at once.

What do you see in this three-letter creature called “cat”?
