Title: Lucky Cat (Installation Art)

Artist: Lau Sheow Tong

Students Involved: Art Club, Secondary 4-A

Synopsis: This installation is developed from the kitschy Lucky Cats, who, with their beckoning paws are believed to lure luck and wealth. The updated Pop Cats are ‘dressed’ up in bright and colourful polka dots in the style of the 1960s. Installed along a brightly lit passage way with random heights, they bestow luck and wealth to the audience when they ‘meander’ interactively through the host of cats.
