El Gato Chimney: Call It Fate
Medieval storytelling meets 21st-century fantasy in the Surrealist art of El Gato Chimney. Inspired by everything from graffiti and steampunk to alchemy and spiritualism, the artist brings to life a mystical realm of brilliantly coloured birds bearing the weight of social baggage. His introspective paintings are laced with clues and symbolism about society’s virtues and vices. Through the eyes of the diving parrot in Call It Fate, might the shipwreck be Mother Nature’s will in action, or as simple and arbitrary as the snap of a wishbone?
