The Owners - curated by Natalie Slater

A curation by Natalie Slater, Art Agent at Snap Collective - ‘The Owners’ assembles a group of painters who’ve surrendered their canvases to the cat. Each work is less a portrait than a negotiation — between painter and subject, ego and indifference. The brushwork shifts from tender observation to outright worship. Sometimes the cat lounges in shadow, sometimes it stares you down, but the hierarchy never changes. These aren’t depictions of pets; they’re declarations of control. Here, the cats aren’t sitting — they’re presiding.
