Tokuhiro Kawai @tokuhiro_kawai : Love for Cats (Neko ni ai). Japan. Date: 2025. ⁣ ⁣ Medium: oil tempera and gold leaf on panel. Now on display at GYOKUEI gallery, Minami Aoyama, Tokyo, as part of the solo exhibition Altarpiece of Cat Adoration, 5–29 November 2025.⁣ ⁣ Full exhibition details can be found on GYOKUEI’s official website (https://www.gyokuei.tokyo/), and anyone who's able to be in Tokyo in November shouldn't miss the chance to see these works in person.⁣ ⁣ In this work Kawai borrows the language of early Renaissance altarpieces and quietly replaces saints with house cats. A nun in a black habit occupies the center like a modern Madonna, her gaze lowered while she offers a red rose. Around her, cats of different colors float in a tight crowd, each framed by a round gold halo and most of them busy sniffing, holding or accepting a rose of its own..⁣ ⁣ Kawai has explained that he's fascinated by how early Renaissance Christian painters compressed entire stories into a single image so that believers who couldn't read the Bible could still grasp the message in an instant. ⁣ ⁣ He studied oil painting at Tokyo University of the Arts and models his technique and compositions on masters such as Jan van Eyck and Raphael, yet fills their sacred spaces with his own lifelong companions, cats. For Art Fair Tokyo 2024 he presented an icon‑like work titled Human Friends, a cat altarpiece about division and reconciliation, where cats act as mediators between quarrelling people. In the 2025 exhibition Altarpiece of Cat Adoration he keeps this thread and describes cats as humanity’s common friends, capable of awakening empathy in a world increasingly fractured by ideology and race. ⁣ ⁣ #tokuhirokawai #catart #contemporaryart #arthistory #altarpiece #gyokuei #japaneseart #renaissanceinspired #artfairtokyo #catsandroses

"Connection with Contemporary Times" My 2024 Art Fair Tokyo piece, Friends of Humankind, explored the theme of division and reconciliation — portraying cats as mediators who bridge differences among humans. This is a theme I intend to continue pursuing. While employing traditional methods, I aim to create works that transcend time — pieces that feel both timeless and contemporary, that could belong equally to the past, the present, or even the future. Tokuhiro Kawai’s solo exhibition "Altarpiece of Cat Adoration" Date: 5-29 November 2025 Hours: 10:30am-6:30pm Closed on Sun and national holidays Place: GYOKUEI 6-8-2, Minami-Aoyama Minato-ku, Tokyo, JAPAN @gyokuei_official
