Previews: Casey Weldon – “Catharsis” @ Spoke Art (New York)

On November 30th, Spoke Art in New York will be hosting the opening for Casey Weldon’s (featured) solo show. Entitled Catharsis, the title of the exhibition is a play on words in the same vein as the humor usually seen in the locally-based artist’s work. Felines play a key role in the new imagery, as it is often the case in Weldon’s past work, and are the vessels through with he creates a “satirical analysis on the internet and social media.”

Weldon further explains – “With the rise of social media, shared adoration and adulation have made the cat pic a frequent daily affair. Simultaneously pulling at our heart strings and poking our funny bones, the cat is equally worshiped and laughed at. This is a body of work exploring this duality while allowing me to hopefully get this whole cat painting thing out of my system.”
