Cats Hate The Dead / Signed Print
"Cats Hate the Dead" is a striking fine art piece by Dirk Strangely that showcases his unique style and storytelling ability. This oil painting, created on a custom-built oak wood panel crafted by Strangely himself, features a captivating scene of a black cat confronted by dark, ominous hands reaching out from beyond.
The artwork is rich in texture, with the cat seemingly standing off the panel, creating a three-dimensional effect. Strangely incorporated pages from the Book of Genesis into the piece, adding depth and symbolism to the composition.
This intriguing artwork tells the story of a cat who can perceive the dead, capturing a moment of apprehension as the feline faces the unseen. The piece is not only visually striking but also served as inspiration for a larger narrative that Strangely developed.
An interesting fact about this artwork is that it sparked a full story written by Strangely. Unfortunately, the script was lost when his laptop was stolen from his vehicle during Dragon Con in Atlanta, Georgia in 2008.
This archival museum-grade giclee print captures the original artwork's unique textures and tones with exceptional quality. Each piece comes signed by Dirk Strangely, adding to its collectible value and authenticity.
