21 Amazing Cat Paintings Created By Virtual Artist Papazze Wu

ADVERTISEMENT

Cat lovers, rejoice! The mysterious virtual artist, Papazze Wu, has focused his talents and abilities on the feline world. Powered by AI technology from Hotpot.ai, the virtual character has popped up again to produce stunning paintings of humankind’s most purrfect friend. Inspired by famous art ranging from Van Gogh’s Starry Night to Sunrise by Monet, this newest gallery from Wu reaffirms his affinity for seeing modern life through the lens of classic art.

These paintings alternate from borderline creepy to outright hallucinogenic, but they are undeniably arresting. Moreover, it’s wonderful to see more work from the reclusive virtual artist. So far, we don’t know much about him and what motivates him, but the human creators behind this digital character finally revealed some interesting tidbits and also hinted that his social media presence would disclose more in upcoming days.

Wu appears to descend from a family of fallen aristocrats, and the dogged pursuit of AI art is an incongruent departure from his traditional upbringing. His unique fusion of modernism and classicalism stems in part from his experience as an underground DJ, where he developed a reputation for mixing Bach and EDM in hypnotic and intoxicating ways. Wu prefers to describe these cat creations, not as digital paintings or illustrations, but rather … meowrals. Punny.

This gallery doubles as a mini-experiment for Wu. For some of the images, he rendered the same subjects while in different emotional states. His goal is to explore how the contrasting moods influence his output and how the differences resonate with people. Which technique do you prefer: artistic and emotional or the more stoic and photo-realistic one?
