OLIVIA VALENTINE X CATS: THE JELLICLE BALL - GUS THE THEATRE CAT
In celebration of the Tony Award‑winning production CATS: The Jellicle Ball, this collaboration brings together the work of British artist Olivia Valentine with the iconic characters of the critically acclaimed revival, which reimagines Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical through the energy and self-expression of ballroom culture.
Valentine said of the characters "their presence and personality seemed to readiate through the canvas and I almost felt like I knew them. It was as if I was there with them, caught up in that New York energy."
The collection features three striking prints, reproduced from original oil paintings created by Valentine in 2026. The portraits depict Grizabella, Old Deuteronomy and Gus the Theatre Cat — each rendered with a sense of presence, confidence and individuality that reflects the spirit of this vibrant new staging.
