Pixie Dust and Cat Chair

Pixie Dust and Cat Chair is an original acrylic painting on a repurposed 20" x 8¼" framed board — a painting that knows exactly what it’s doing. At the top, a gold-framed Louis XVI armchair with carved cabriole legs and a grey velvet seat floats against a swirling silver-white textured background — but look closely at the chair back: it is a cat. A tabby cat face with enormous teal-blue eyes, soft grey striped fur, a delicate pink nose, and a slightly open mouth gazes down from the upholstered back with the serene authority of a portrait subject who has been painted before. Below the chair, at the bottom of the composition, the real Pixie — a black and white tuxedo cat with vivid green eyes and a white chest — sits looking directly up at her gilded throne with calm, knowing attention. The chair is Pixie. Pixie is looking at herself. The painting is a conversation between an artist, her cat, and a very good joke. Pure paint, pure Pixie, pure cat magic. A one-of-a-kind original by Branka, painted from life — her beloved cat Pixie, immortalised once and never again.
