Apocalypse Meow!

Apocalypse Meow! is a 26 × 21 cm ink and pencils on paper work from 2017, presented framed. One of Viviers' most recognisable earlier pieces, the work depicts a cat in an apocalyptic encounter — carrying the dark humour and raw energy that would come to define his reputation. Ink and pencil on paper allows for a level of immediacy distinct from his acrylic practice: gestural, spontaneous, and full of expressive line quality. Featured in a Pixelsmith Studios interview alongside Venom Cat, Apocalypse Meow! is among the works that first brought Walt Viviers wider attention as a Pretoria-based South African artist navigating the space between fine art and popular culture.
