A curation by Michael Murray, Owner and art consultant at Michael Murray Art - Meow and Muse is a curated collection celebrating one of humanity’s most enduring muses, the feline. Across centuries and cultures, cats have embodied mystery, grace, independence, and affection, inspiring artists to explore their symbolic and emotional resonance. This collection brings together works that reimagine the cat not only as a beloved companion but as a metaphor for duality: domestic yet wild, aloof yet deeply expressive. Through painting, sculpture, photography, and contemporary media, the featured artists examine the cat’s shifting role in art history from sacred icon and symbol of intuition to pop-cultural figure and personal muse. Whether portrayed with humor, reverence, or abstraction, each piece reveals how this creature continues to fascinate and reflect aspects of human nature. Meow and Muse invites viewers to reconsider the everyday presence of the feline as a subject of artistic and emotional complexity, both playful and profound.
