Prince launches Le Chat Déambule traveling exhibition

Philippe Geluck’s Famous Cat Sculpture Exhibition Charlie Hebdo The cartoon decorates the Larbot Promenade, featuring 20 giant pieces created dedicated to the victims of the 2015 terrorist attack.

Belgian cartoonist Philippe Geluck pleased readers of French publications Charlie Hebdo For decades, he’s been a dark humorous and witty one-liner, publishing every issue of the now-famous “Cat” cartoon.

Today, Geluck has created an exhibition entirely based on iconic characters, and his travel show “Le Chat Déambule” (The Cat Walks) landed in Monaco, officially launched by Prince Albert on Tuesday 5.^th July.

The height of the cat sculpture is 2.7 meters and the weight is 2.5 tons per piece. Creating each pose using detailed sketches, he once again captured the mood and whims of his time.

There are a total of 20 sculptures, including a cat sitting under an umbrella and “raining”, a cat lying sideways in a crushed car, a cat disguised as an atlas with a plastic scrap-filled globe, and a swinging cat. .. A golf ball stolen by a passing bird.

Dedicated to the victims of the Charlie Hebdo attack in January 2015, 12 people were killed by armed terrorist groups, completing two years and nearly 60 people.

Gluck is also currently working on the launch of Rucha and the Museum of Humorous Arts in Brussels, which will be open to the public in 2024.

Le Chat Déambule has already been a hit in cities such as Geneva and Bordeaux and continues on its way to several other destinations in Europe. So far, there have been more than 6 million visitors.

The cat exhibition will remain in Monaco from 6 o’clock^th July to 2nd^nd October of the newly refurbished Larvot Promenade.
