Description
Final result of an attempt to catch the essence of a cat.Made in yellow bronze on stone base.
The title: M'as-tu-vu is an expression used for people who like to show-off. Literally it means ‘did you see me?’

I like so much the elegance of your work. Cats are suspicious by its own nature, and I believe you've expressed this very well. Nice work.

Thank you. You're right, I've included also negative aspects of a cat. At least, I've tried to. It's the reason why some people are not fond of this sculpture, I suppose.

Unfortunatelly we can't please every taste. But this is part of the way of the art.

Great piece, even the photos get close to doing the piece justice. One question, what are the deminsions?

It's a bit smaller than a lifesize cat. The bronze part is almost a foot, 28 cm high.

Thanks for the compliment.
Sculpting takes so much time. Every step is labour intensive. Even more so with shiny metal. Sanding, polishing, correcting a dent, sanding again, polishing again ... Even photographing the result needs a lot of care.
But in the end it's all worth it. The way it catches light, the sculpture seems alive. It exists, in a very tangible way. You're right, Deviant Art is not ideal to enjoy sculptures. Sculpture have a dire need to be seen in real life. But hey, I'm pleased I can show them to so many people, like yourself.
