The artist reference to my artwork is Georgette Chen. Her portrait artworks often emphasise human subjects with a quiet dignity.
In this artwork , I chose to focus on the humorous reflect of a cat portrait, seemingly being dignified and in command, as commonly resonated in the eyes of pet owners. The cat is prominently positioned in the center, dressed in regal military uniform adorned with gold details, badges and medallions. Its piercing elegant blue eyes give a sense of authority and elegance while the fur is soft and alluring. The background in warm colors and familiar items suggest that is a treasured companion and a central figure of the household, much like royalty within a palace.
Georgette also used bold and strong colors with balance and harmony, hence I applied the complementary colors in this artwork in response. The background domestic setting with books and furniture frames and balances this piece, which echos Georgette’s well organized composition in her artworks.
I hope that through my artwork, the viewers are able to identify an individual with a sense of importance, be it cultural or personal expression, revered with dignity, poise and grace.
