Local artist's cat paintings are so hot right meow (from Daily Herald article April 12, 2015)
Shu Yamamoto isn’t a writer. And he’s only semi-fluent in English. That said, he sure knows his way around a cat pun.
The Sandy resident has a new exhibit of paintings hanging in the Utah County Arts Board, in the Health and Justice Building, titled “The Fine Collection of Feline Art.” It features recreations of fine art’s most famous paintings, but with cats instead of humans. There’s Meowchelangelo’s “The Creation of Cat,” Purr Rubens’ “The Dog Anatomy Lesson,” and various works by Purrblo Picatto including “Guernicat.” It is a vast array of works, mimicking paintings from centuries of legendary art eras.
