Tigers & Other Cats
Tigers is a series started by Virgile Demo in 2022, the Year of the Tiger in the Chinese calendar, and continues to this day. An exploration of animal portraiture, Tigers focuses on both the expressions and the movements and patterns of each individual represented. With time, Virgile has expanded into feline drawings, with lions and cheetahs making an appearance as well.
Most drawings are annotated with thoughts and intuitions, turning these images into a visual diary of sorts.
