Original artwork description:

Romeo is a lanky cat sculpture made from natural calabash wood, symbolising shyness in love.
Part of the CalbinoOz series, his ears are oversized, like those of most of the slender CalbinoOz cats, and reflect the magnificent quirkiness of the sphynx cat's ears.

Shy, he wears a long, bright peacock-blue jumper with a hood lined in light turquoise, a sort of mustard-green coppery loincloth with old gold buttons, and behind his back he's holding a pretty yellow-green copper poppy flower that he'd like to give to his sweetheart, Juliette.
This elongated sculpture is fixed to a homemade wooden base, because a calabash emptied of its seeds, especially when it's elongated, becomes a hollow, light wood that could wobble without support.

Materials: empty natural calabash wood, surfine wood cellulose, vitrified plaster, acrylic paint and water-soluble oil, protective varnish.

Unique piece signed on the side at the bottom of the calabash.

Dimensions with base: H52 x W14 x D14 cm Weight: 772 g

Materials used:

calabash wood, surfine wood cellulose, blown glass, gourd wood, feather rachis
