About My Sweet Cat Yellow with Orange Cup 1/500

Inspired by the daily visits of a beloved neighbourhood cat, this little pop art sculpture is by Benny Katz. The Israel-based artist is recognized for his charming, colourful artwork that often celebrates the simple joys of life. Here the artist plays with form and depicts the cat as a soft-serve ice cream sitting on a cup. The colour palette is equally as fun as the concept—a sunny yellow accented by a juicy orange cup. Edition 1 of 500.

“I noticed that the shape of a sitting cat, with its tail wrapped around it, creates a sort of spiral. From there, this idea developed into the shape of the soft ice cream of the sculpture.” Benny Katz
