Calling all cat lovers and/or art lovers! Local husband-and-wife team of artists, paulMysh (paul and michelle) has an ongoing exhibition at utterly art. It’s catmasutra! So called because all the paintings feature cats as a theme. Very adorable and very colorful!

Catmasutra 3 at Utterly Art

This is the third year running of catmasutra. I only heard about it recently, which is a real shame because I wouldn’t have missed catmasutra 1 and 2 for the world if I had known about those!

The cat models used in the paintings are actually paul and michelle’s own cats — halo and angel. Now, these two kitties must obviously be very playful since they inspire paintings such as “art of levitation”, which has angel getting high on alcohol.

Not to be outdone, halo, the greedy cat who’s always seen with a fish bone in his mouth, gets high on Hoegaarden, in “night out in the garden” (above, center). Good choice! That’s my favorite beer too! I had two last night!

He gets even more drunk in “drunk.punch.love” (above, center)! Man, the life of a cat is good! I’m one of those people that get infected by laughter easily. So when I saw the wide, ear-to-ear smiles of these cats, I couldn’t help but smile along too! They looked so adorable!

Well those were my favorite paintings. A few other personal favorites include “cat’s sutra” and “hot soup”. look here for more.

Better still, head down to the gallery at utterly art! It’s located on a second level shophouse along South bridge road, opposite sri mariamman temple. It’s a neat little place with a bunch of friendly people. The catmasutra exhibition is on until Christmas eve!

LOL.

Hey, I think you site should be recommended to the Singapore Tourism Board for all the food and places of interest reviews that you’ve got here.

I think I know more about what’s going on in Singapore from your blog than anywhere else.

Hello Veron.

A pleasure meeting you last night. What a coincidence though. Drop me a PM next time you are going and I will recommend some dishes to you :)

P.S.: Was the tequila rose to your taste?

Not really a great fan of cats. But who can resist such adorable kittens! I love the “night out in the garden”. :D

And I sure do agree with uzyn! Haha.

Aristocrat: It was an amazing coincidence! If I hadn’t asked the bartender about you, we wouldn’t even have spoken to each other! Thanks for the drink. It was awesome! I had the Mars Bar shot too!

Lain: Those kitties are almost too cute! I love the way the kitty fits into that Hoegaarden glass! Ahhh I want one!

Um yeah. It’s all because I got caught staring. I was wondering whether it was you because the face looked familiar.

Geez.
