Description from the seller
PALE RIOT
Cat and Leaves
78 × 78 cm
Mixed media on canvas
2025
Delivered rolled (unframed)
This original work is created by the underground contemporary artist Pale Riot, known for developing a distinct visual language centered on simplified animal forms and muted, emotionally restrained compositions.
In Cat and Leaves, the artist presents a naïve yet subtly unsettling feline figure, rendered in soft, layered pink tones against a pale, textured background. The exaggerated proportions, loose black contour lines, and childlike immediacy contrast with the quiet tension embedded in the composition. The presence of the stylized leaves introduces a symbolic element, nature reduced to gesture, reinforcing the balance between fragility and understated resistance that defines Pale Riot’s practice.
Rather than pursuing refinement, Pale Riot embraces instinct. The visible brushwork, irregular lines, and tactile surface preserve the raw energy of the first intervention. The work feels playful at first glance, yet carries the quiet defiance that characterizes the artist’s ongoing exploration of soft rebellion.
Blackroom Global Gallery works directly with Pale Riot and holds exclusive access to the artist’s works. This guarantees authenticity, provenance, and direct acquisition from the source.
The artwork measures 78 × 78 cm and is offered unframed. For safety reasons, it will be delivered rolled, allowing for secure international shipping and professional framing according to the collector’s preference.
The price is reserved for this specific piece. Please note that VAT is included in the listed price and will be automatically deducted from the final amount where applicable.
The photographs are presented without digital enhancement. In an era of over-processed imagery and artificial perfection, we believe the integrity of the work is best experienced in its physical presence.
