Fat Cat Art by Svetlana Petrova
"It's official. That thing that classic art has been missing is a chubby reclining kitty."--The Huffington Post
Internet meme meets classical art in Svetlana Petrova's brilliant Fat Cat Art. Featuring her twenty-two-pound, ginger-colored cat Zarathustra superimposed onto some of the greatest artworks of all time, Petrova's paintings are an Internet sensation. Now fans will have the ultimate full-color collection of her work, including several never-before-seen pieces, to savor for themselves or to give as a gift to fellow cat lovers.
From competing with Venus's sexy reclining pose (and almost knocking her off her chaise lounge in the process) in Titian's Venus of Urbino, to exhibiting complete disdain as he skirts away from God's pointing finger in Michelangelo's Creation of Adam, Zarathustra single-handedly rewrites art history in the way that only an adorable fat cat can.
Svetlana Petrova is a St. Petersburg-based artist, producer, and curator. Petersburg is a Russian city. She founded and directs the Multivision International Festival of Animation Arts. FatCatArt.com was launched in 2011 as an experiment to merge art history and the spirit of LOLcats. Her beautiful paintings with cats became internet sensations after going viral.
When her mother died, she adopted Zarathustra, her feline coauthor and mews. This 8-year-old ginger tabby cat, who is loved and spoiled by Svetlana's mother, is 10 kilos of pure undisturbed delight, despite his attempts to diet.
