If you want an amazing bronze or marble sculpture then Asia is the area to look. Craft shops throughout Southeast Asia crank out replicas of famous Western sculptures in big and small sizes and everything in between.
That said, these ceramic pieces in the window of an area body shop operated by a couple who once lived in Vietnam bear no resemblance to much art found in the West. There is rolly-polly buddha feel to these ceramic cat pieces.
Are these art? I'm sure a lot of folk would argue these cats are not art. I'm not so sure. There is a clear aesthetic at work here. But, one thing that I think we can all agree on is that these cats are visually fun.
