Shu Yamamoto 山本修 Meowseum 猫美術館 海貓與巨章魚(上)
"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.
THE WHISKYFIND is an emerging independent whisky bottler in Asia. In 2016, it became internationally famous for its "Classic of Mountains and Seas" series of whiskys. Following the launch of "Zheng Wen Three Kingdoms" in 2018, it once again cooperated with world-class artist Osamu Yamamoto to use whisky to interpret a story. Each of the world-famous paintings transformed into meows, this cross-border cooperation project is "Meowseum Cat Museum Collection Whisky"!
Umaru and the Giant Octopus (Part 1) - Original Artwork: Tamatori (Ama and Octopus)
The left half depicts an Ama (female diver) transformed into a Umaru with a fishtail, holding Myungsoo and raising a sharp blade. The towering waves suggest a breathtaking sense of tension. This work collaborates with SINOB, a top Japanese rum brand, selecting a cask of "agricultural rum" with high ester content and aged in red wine barrels from a renowned distillery on the French island of Réunion. Bright, vibrant tropical fruits extend into delicate layers of funky and orange blossom flavors. A slight smokiness accompanied by a concentrated, sweet and sour taste creates a vibrant flavor profile that unfolds in the mouth like waves – truly spectacular!
