"The cat is, above all things, a dramatist. Sacred to ancient Egyptians, domestic cats share more than 95% of their genetic makeup with tigers, and they can leap five times their height."
"Léo Forest's playful works tap into the physical and emotional quirks of cats, from brawling pairs to individuals in the midst of grooming, scratching, or attacking."
"Flailing limbs and blurred motion evoke Italian Futurist painter Giacomo Balla's seminal painting, 'Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash,' in which a Dachsund and its owner's feet are fuzzily multiplied to imply very quick movement."
