Topic: Glass kitty...

My observations for what they are worth Nic:

It is beautiful.
It is different.
It is more likely a Panther.
It is covetous.
Is it for sale?

It was bought to put in the new webshop I'm working on... but I'm toying with keeping it, because it's fantastic. 

That said, still got to find a place for it to be displayed - it weighs over 8kg, so a shelf is a no-no.

I'll just do my editor thing

It is covetous.

and say it's covetable

It certainly makes a statement, and it evokes emotion - but I think it's really and truly horrible, sorry.

Christine... Oh dear,  I looked it up first and it said:

Definition of COVETOUS
: marked by inordinate desire for wealth or possessions or for another's possessions.
So I thought that as I wanted it so much it was appropriate. 

But I have to agree that it is also very covetable.

Actually, just the green envy face would have been quicker and simpler. Please can we have it back??

Thanks, Nic. If you'll email me your full name, I'll give you credit for the photo in the zoo.

Well you can run with either Nic Wilson, as in my sig below, or Nicholas Wilson if you want a bit more formaility. 

It certainly makes a statement, and it evokes emotion - but I think it's really and truly horrible, sorry.

Don't worry about it. I've got a knack for buying statement sculptures that people love or hate - or even get confused about. 

 

I took a giant Fabio Onesto glass sculpture on the fair circuit and everyone thought it was astonishing... because it had presence... but no one could work out if they actually liked it or not!

I think that's the fun of modern/contemporary art, though. Even if you don't like it, it can sometimes still instill an emotional response.

That is a beauty ! Panther is what it says to me, far too grrrrr for a purrrr  Not a piece for putting on a shelf !!

[chopin-liszt]

I think it's kitsch, but that it thinks it's art.
Certainly a statement - but not one I'd make.
I love cats - but think they often fail in art because the artist dosn't understand them.

But then I'm not fond of Picasso's cubic stuff, perhaps that has a bearing on my feelings about this piece!

My walls are covered in geometric and abstract art...
