Leblon Delienne x M.Chat (1977) - Baby Cat

BABY CAT French-Swiss painter Thoma Vuille (a.k.a. Mr. CAT) was born in Boudry, in the canton of Neuchâtel, in 1977. He produced his first acrylic street art works when he was only 15, in memory of his grandfather, a building painter. These traits and that almost childlike spirit come from the very source of his initial inspiration: a feline and laughing figure, drawn by a little girl while he was teaching in a school in Orléans in 1997. Then, he decides to disseminate the image of the mouser on the walls of Orléans, with the sole objective of “putting humanity and love into the city.” If, at first glance, Mr. CAT may resemble a logo, due to the simplicity of his drawing and his “cartoonish silhouette,” he embodies much more, delighting us as much as he captivates us when, during our urban wanderings, his Dantean smile emerges. A figure that has become emblematic of French street art, Thoma Vuille progressively multiplies the images of his yellow sidekick on all supports: facing forward or profile, winged or simply suspended in the air or quietly settled between two chimneys. His iconic cat, recognizable by its distinctive yellow color and its wide smile, is now available in 3D. #leblondelienne
