Cats vs. Dogs: A Portrait of Devotion
November 27 – December 10, 2025
Curated by VICTO & Uliana Sal
Artseeker Gallery presents “Cats vs. Dogs: A Portrait of Devotion,” a contemporary exhibition exploring the emotional and symbolic connections between humans and the animals who share our lives. Bringing together eighteen works across painting, sculpture, and mixed media, the show examines how cats and dogs become mirrors of identity, migration, humor, intuition, and the rhythms of modern urban life.
In New York, a city defined by speed, reinvention, and noise, animals offer a rare counterbalance: presence, trust, and emotional truth. The works in this exhibition portray animals not simply as companions, but as cultural interpreters, poetic observers, and quiet anchors within the metropolitan landscape. Whether lounging on fire escapes, racing through imagined worlds, or resting in sculptural stillness, these creatures embody both the vulnerability and the resilience of contemporary existence.
From abstract symbols and dreamlike felines to expressive, character-rich dogs, the exhibition highlights two distinct emotional languages — introspective and outward, enigmatic and open-hearted. Together, the works form a narrative about devotion as a shared language that transcends species.
