In “Wilderness” Vladimir Kato uses the animal as a form or base to play with exaggerated color while capturing the individual personalities of the subjects he paints, a departure from the work he completed last year i.e. transvestite themes and Glam 80s pop style.
Vladimir is originally from Belgrade and is a graduate of the Interpretive Illustration and Classical Animation Programs at the Sheridan Collage of Art and Design, after a brief stint in The Graffiti culture of Toronto. Vladimir started his serious painting in 2004.
His day job is as an animation production designer, he just wrapped up a new show called “The Dating Guy” an edgy adult late night cartoon that is based in Toronto.
This is Vladimir’s 2nd solo gallery show, he started exhibiting his work in 2003. “Wilderness” is definitely not a conventional view of the animals around us, rather an alternative pumped up look at the world of zoology.
