We are excited to announce that our online gallery is expanding its art collection with a notable artwork by Pisica Pătrată – “Untitled” canvas. This one-of-a-kind canvas was painted in 2022 and the work depicts his well-known square cat character from a very emotional perspective.
Pisica Pătrată – “Untitled”, 2022
acrylic paint on an irregular shape canvas, measuring 66,5 x 52,5 x 54 x 60 x 45,5 x 20 x 44,5 x 28 cm
In this enigmatic canvas painting, street artist Pisica Pătrată unveils a striking portrayal of emotion and unease within an unconventional eight-sided canvas. This unique piece of art defies convention, inviting viewers into a world where fear and vulnerability are palpable. At the centre of the composition looms a grey square cat, its geometrically defined face dominating the canvas. The cat’s expression is hauntingly conveyed through two large, round black eyes that seem to pierce the viewer’s soul. An irregularly shaped nose adds to the cat’s eerie countenance, while a disproportionately large smile, rendered in a sad and unsettling manner, further heightens the sense of unease.
“Untitled” is a mesmerising exploration of emotion and perception, inviting viewers to contemplate the complexities of fear and vulnerability. Through the unconventional canvas shape and haunting portrayal of the square cat’s expression, Pisica Pătrată has crafted a captivating work of art that resonates on a deeply visceral level, leaving a lasting impression long after the viewer has left its presence.
In our online gallery, you can find some of the most atypical pieces made by local artists and living legends that are embedded in their artworks with the authentic vibe of street art & graffiti.
About PISICA PĂTRATĂ
Pisica Pătrată (the Square Cat) is one of the most acclaimed illustrators and muralists in Romania, and also the founder of the Comic Books Museum. He has an intense activity, with many public appearances, book launches, comics, magazines, personal exhibitions, participation in festivals and a long series of murals. In the Un-hidden street art in Romania book and the map, you can find a good part of the works and artistic installations featuring Pisica Pătrată‘s characters, which reconfigure forgotten spaces in the urban environment, galleries or even museums.
In recent years, we have been happy to have several opportunities to collaborate with Pisica Pătrată by creating one of the most beloved murals in Bucharest and a street art installation on the façade of the Capitol Summer Theatre (2008, 2016, 2017). We exhibited some of his astonishing paintings in multiple collective exhibitions at Kube, Lente, Palatul Universul, Romanian Design Week and Imbold Gallery. In the living room and in the urban garden of Lente, you can find the mural made in 2016, within the series Pictăm Pereți, and the wooden totem Un-hidden Bucharest (2017). Also, in collaboration with the Un-hidden Bucharest project, Pisica Pătrată installed 6 wooden panels on the façade of the Cina building, which hosts the M60 Space (2018). At the end of last year (2020) we invited Pisica Pătrată to paint a large canvas during the feeder sound live session with Primărie. In 2021, we had the pleasure to work again with Pisica Pătrată creating two street art interventions, one in Bucharest, within the Street Art București project, and one in Constanta during the Un-hidden Romania urban regeneration programme.
A part of the collection of wooden art toys assembled and painted by Pisica Pătrată, as well as other limited edition items, are available in the feeder.ro/shop.
