FELIX THE CAT Cats Out Of The Bag
Exhibition Dates: May 8 - May 30 2015
A simply drawn black and white cat may seem an unlikely choice for the
world¹s first cartoon superstar, but Felix, with his magical bag of
tricks and killer personality, was no ordinary feline. Though
Felix has gone through numerous iterations over the near decade since
his debut, he has always had an undeniable influence on creatives around
the world, no matter their age or medium. This has never been more
evident than in ³Felix The Cat: The Cat¹s Out Of The Bag², a group art
show curated by Slow Culture gallery. The Highland Park outfit gathered
nearly 40 members of their creative community and tasked them with
creating a piece of work that embodied the world famous cartoon cat.
This stable, which includes fine artists, cartoonists, street artists,
creative directors, tattoo artists, and more, jumped at the chance to
pay homage to a figure that had for many of them made an indelible
impact on their art.
