My Sweet Cat Yellow with Red and White Polka Dots 2/500

About My Sweet Cat Yellow with Red and White Polka Dots 2/500

Benny Katz is known for playing with form, volume and colour in his imaginative sculptures. This piece is one of a whimsical series he designed that features a cat—its form mimics a soft serve ice cream sitting on a cup.
The colour palette is classic Katz—fun and bright—a sunny yellow accented by red and white polka dots. Edition 2 of 500.

“The inspiration for the work comes from a cat named Rebecca that I feed in my studio. Probably because of her visits to the studio and my affection for her, I wanted to make a small statue of a cat.” Benny Katz
