Description from the seller
Patched Cat (2022)
Christian van Hedel – acrylic on linen, 120 x 100 cm
Patched Cat is a painting that immediately captures attention. Playful, powerful, and full of vitality.
The inspiration of Joan Miró is clearly felt in the free forms, the use of color, and the almost childlike line work. But this work is unmistakably by Christian van Hedel. Where Miró brought poetry, Van Hedel adds energy, warmth, and a contemporary clarity. The result is a modern abstract painting that brightens the mood and leaves room for imagination.
The 'cat' in this work is composed of color fields—like patches sewn together. Yellow, red, and blue form a lively patchwork that balances between figuration and abstraction. Black accents and playful lines add movement and rhythm, while the fresh yellow background makes the whole shine. The painting feels light and optimistic, yet is full of thoughtful details at the same time.
As is often the case in Van Hedel's work, the characteristic chalkboard element appears here as well: a small surface with symbols and signs, like a visual flash of thought. It is his signature, a subtle reference to the creation process and to the interplay between thinking and doing.
Patched Cat is executed in acrylic on canvas and finished with a high-quality varnish layer, which adds depth, protection, and a stunning color intensity. With its size of 120 x 100 cm, the piece is a real eye-catcher – perfect for a modern living space, office, or gallery setting.
This painting doesn't ask for an explanation. It smiles at you. And that is exactly its strength.
About the artist
