ROAR, the Art of Cats 2024

Congratulations to all the artists of ROAR, the Art of Cats 2024! Cat species of all sorts shine and roar in this exhibition. It is a pleasure to present this epic expression of art in the form of cats.

Best in Show
Sun King, by Jeremy Pappa
24 x 24 inches, Oil and acrylic on canvas

Quintessential roar: angle, colors, passion, expression. On top of that, there is the contrast of contemporary splatter-plus-palette-knife background paired with realism and finished off with a touch of light surrealism in the form of whispy, smoke-like mane. We can see the sound of that roar.
