The Exhibition
A major retrospective covering forty years of creation centered on The Cat.
“Geluck Exhibits The Cat” presents a chronological and thematic overview of Philippe Geluck's work, from humorous sketches to monumental sculptures. Organized in two main parts, the journey brings together original drawings, acrylic paintings, screen prints, and bronze sculptures, some of which made headlines on the Champs-Élysées in 2022.
Both an archive catalog and a form laboratory, the display shows how The Cat has evolved without losing its wit or iconic power.
Why Go
Four good reasons to see the exhibition.
The Journey and the Works
From small drawings to monumental works: the diversity of media is at the heart of the exhibition.
The rooms feature original strips—where the economy of line hits the mark—and acrylic paintings that translate The Cat's irony onto large formats. Screen prints highlight the character's ability to circulate as a popular image, while bronze sculptures give the sharpness of the line a physical, sometimes monumental presence.
The journey highlights the consistency of humor built on absurdity and offbeat logic, while underlining the formal richness of an author who has continuously explored new media.
Editor's note
You leave the exhibition with a smile and a clear mind: Geluck knows how to make you laugh while making you think, with rare wit and humanity that transcend the gag to touch everyday life. Moments of subtlety alternate with sharper strokes, and it is this sincere perspective that wins sympathy.
For lovers of intelligent humor as well as art curious who enjoy surprises, this is a joyful and generous stop well worth the trip—elegant, lively, and deeply warm, the exhibition makes you want to see The Cat again and again.
The Cat Facing the Great Masters
An entire room sets up confrontations between The Cat and art history.
One of the most delightful sequences in the exhibition pits The Cat against icons of painting and visual culture—Warhol, Picasso, Banksy, Vermeer, Courbet, among others. These parodic dialogues do more than entertain: they elegantly and mischievously question the place of popular culture in the artistic pantheon.
Visitors experience erudite winks that work as well for art lovers as for devoted readers of The Cat.
