Cat 1980

"Cat" is a striking black and white ink drawing by Danish artist Richard Mortensen, created in 1980. The artwork depicts a stylized cat, rendered with bold, expressive brushstrokes that capture the animal's movement and energy. Mortensen's use of black ink against a white background creates a strong visual contrast, emphasizing the dynamism of the composition. The artist's abstract approach to the subject matter, reminiscent of gestural abstraction, reflects his interest in exploring the expressive possibilities of line and form. This minimalist yet powerful image exemplifies Mortensen's distinctive style, renowned for its bold and immediate aesthetic.
