Fat Cat Art “I lost my mother in 2008 and she left me Zarathustra. I got horrible depression after her death and for two years I was unable to do something creative. I’ve had cats before and included them in my work, like playing in theatre shows and I’ve made costumes for them. But I thought, ‘What can I do with Zarathustra, because my mother spoilt him and he’s so fat’.“ - Svetlana Petrova, Artist. A few years ago, Russian artist Svetlana Petrova started re-creating the most iconic paintings in art history by adding her beloved fat ginger cat Zarathustra to them. The clever improvements on the classic masterpieces in the ‘Fat Cat Art’ project became extremely popular and exhibitions soon followed. Now you can see Zarathustra in all his glory as he poses in over 150 paintings compiled in a book titled ‘Fat Cat Art: Famous Masterpieces Improved by a Ginger Cat with Attitude’. #neonurchin #neonurchinblog #dedicatedtothethingswelove #suzyurchin #ollyurchin #art #music #photography #fashion #film #words #pictures #neon #urchin #fatcatart #zarathustra #svetlanapetrova #russian #oldmasters #book #catwithattitude #mews #muse #artisticgenius #famousmasterpieces https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw9B4jcAIMs/?igshid=1vkziu0v487dm

Fat Cat Art “I am just a humble assistant to His Furry Majesty who kindly allows me to use all my painting, photography and Photoshop skills to insert his precious images into masterpieces of renowned artists of the past.” - Svetlana Petrova, Artist. Artist Svetlana Petrova finds a creative muse (“mews”!) in her ginger cat, Zarathustra. The adorable fat feline has made its way into some of the most well-known works of art history. With crazed cat eyes, a fluffy belly and a penchant for flowers, the creature seamlessly invades paintings to add his own dose of beauty while giving new meaning to them. In some of the images, he looks like he’s downright crashing the compositions — but in true cat fashion, he couldn’t care less. In Petrova’s explanation of her cat art, she puts an hilarious spin on how her work is made. She presents it as if Zarathustra is the true artistic genius who has an uncanny ability to improve paintings. Together, Petrova and Zarathustra have “revisited” more than 150 paintings and compiled them in a book titled ‘Fat Cat Art: Famous Masterpieces Improved by a Ginger Cat with Attitude’. #neonurchin #neonurchinblog #dedicatedtothethingswelove #suzyurchin #ollyurchin #art #music #photography #fashion #film #words #pictures #neon #urchin #fatcatart #zarathustra #svetlanapetrova #russian #oldmasters #book #catwithattitude #mews #muse #artisticgenius #famousmasterpieces https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw9BzbJgI25/?igshid=1hzp8btmruym0
