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

BABY CAT French-Swiss painter Thoma Vuille (a.k.a. Mr. CHAT) was born in Boudry, in the canton of Neuchâtel, in 1977. He produced his first street art works in acrylic when he was only 15, in memory of his grandfather, a building painter. These lines and this almost childlike spirit come from the very source of his initial inspiration: a smiling feline figure, drawn by a little girl while he was teaching in a class in Orléans in 1997. Then, he decides to disseminate the image of the tomcat on the walls of Orléans, with the sole objective of “putting humanity and love into the city.” If, at first glance, Mr. CHAT may have the appearance of 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, by chance during our urban wanderings, his dantesque smile appears. A figure that has become emblematic of French street art, Thoma Vuille progressively multiplies images of his yellow accomplice on all supports: facing or profile, winged or simply suspended in the air or calmly installed between two chimneys. His emblematic cat, recognizable by its characteristic yellow color and its wide smile, is now available in 3D. #leblondelienne
