Cats have long occupied a curious place in art and popular culture. Elegant, aloof, mischievous, and endlessly entertaining. “Bad Kitties Doing Bad Things”, a playful group exhibition at Rust-en-Vrede Gallery in Durbanville, embraces this irresistible feline energy.

Bringing together works by fifteen artists, the exhibition celebrates cats in all their chaotic charm, from sly troublemakers to internet-worthy divas, capturing the humour, personality, and occasional destruction that have made them beloved subjects across generations.

Participating Artists: Amé Bell, Carla Botes, David Kuijers, Evert Esterhuizen, Julie Kirsten, Katja Abbott, Kerry Hugill, Lesley Ireland Mathew, Mary Visser, Nina Greyling, Penny Simpson, Seza Zitha, Sonja Kastner, Veronica Reid and Wendy Gaybba.

Located in Durbanville, just outside Cape Town, Rust-en-Vrede Gallery has long been a destination for visitors interested in contemporary South African art.
