About the Item

Cat Skeleton, Original Signed Contemporary Black and Pink Painting 12" x 9" x 0.75" (HxWxD) Acrylic on Canvas Hand-signed and dated by the artist. Finished with a gloss varnish. A black background allows the subject matter of this acrylic painting by artist Lindsay Hall, a cat skeleton, to stand out in stark contrast. An item in a cabinet of curiosities, this memento mori work serves as a pausing point to sit and reflect on the fleeting nature of life, both our own and the creatures around us. Pinks, purples, and oranges peek through the white of the articulated skeleton. These colors are usually associated with warmth and more cheery emotions, so their inclusion in this piece, which many would interpret as somber, is interesting. Ultimately, this work can be seen as a celebration of life and the enduring beauty of nature an appreciation for the anatomy that shapes our world. Artist Commentary: I painted this when I lived in Richmond, VA above an oddities shop. Being in such close proximity to various curiosities like taxidermied animals, preserved animal organs, coffins, and the like definitely kept my mind in the spooky mood all year round. The building itself was black and had a giant grim reaper and tombstone murals painted on the side of it so every month felt like October while living there. I loved the shop and frequented it often, usually just to browse the vast collection and purchase incense. The shop had a lot of articulated skeletons of animals, both wild and domestic, including several cat skeletons, over the course of my years there.
