"Introduction to Meowseum Cat Museum":
Artist Shu Yamamoto was born in Yokohama, Japan in 1948. He graduated from Aichi Prefectural University of Arts and currently lives in Utah, USA, with his family. In 2007, he accidentally saw his son imitating Van Gogh's self-portrait, but the painting was not Van Gogh but the face of a cat. As a cat lover, he was inspired to use this as an opportunity to paint two of his favorite paintings. Elements - "cat" and "art" are combined into creative elements, and the world's famous paintings begin to be fully "meow-ified". From ancient Egypt, the Greek era, the Renaissance, realism, surrealism, Asian art... So far, he has accumulated more than 500 cat-like works, including oil paintings, watercolors, sketches, electronic paintings and other media , in addition to retaining the characteristics of each art genre, he also adds the world view of cats. Looking at his works one after another, it is like being taught a lesson in the art history of cats! Therefore, "Cat Art Museum" became the theme name of this series of works exhibited all over the world.

"Composition II of Red, Blue and Yellow"
Was created by the Dutch artist Mondrian in London in 1930. It is based on "Neo-Plasticism", using horizontal and vertical lines and the most basic and simple color blocks in the picture. , through the clever arrangement of color, size and other proportions, a balance is achieved. He believes that art should transcend individuals and pursue a kind of harmony and balance between the universe and the world.
In the original work, seven different rectangles are controlled by black lines, forming a simple structure. The red color that occupies the largest area immediately catches the audience's attention; while the blue square in the lower left corner is obviously smaller than the red color, but it counterbalances the large red color with its cold color characteristics; the small yellow square in the lower right corner subtly creates a warm atmosphere. To maintain the balance of the entire picture.
After the original painting was revised by Yamamoto, the original large area of red, through the changes in lines, presented the cat's ears to the audience in a concise and clever way. Such a magical stroke perfectly expresses the original author's neo-plasticism
In order to show the dazzling red cat, we specially selected the emerging winery Cotswolds from England.
