What does it feel like to be scratched by a cat? Cat lovers surely understand this sensation deeply. The moment when your furniture becomes a victim of their claws is a silent kind of suffering. Australian artist Vanessa Stockard captures this unique bond between cats and furniture in her oil paintings, particularly through her beloved series "Noble Black Cats and Noble Chairs".
The Essence of the Artwork: Cats Bring It to Life
What truly brings Vanessa's paintings to life is the presence of the black cats themselves. In her works, these sleek black felines treat an array of elegant chairs as their personal scratching posts. Sometimes, they even carve out large holes in the upholstery, their frantic scratching so fast it almost blurs in motion.
