After having met a great success in Paris, Bordeaux and Caen, the exhibition "Le Chat déambule" arrives in Geneva.

Twenty monumental statues featuring the famous comic strip hero Le Chat, by Philippe Geluck, will be installed from February 19 to April 24 on the Quai Wilson, near the lake.

Some of his felines which peak at 2 meters in height and each weigh 2.5 tonnes are militant, such as the "Cat-Atlas" who painfully carries a sphere full of plastic bottles or "the martyrdom of the Cat", with the cat crushing. The artist Philippe Geluck explains it as a homage to the cartoonists of Charlie Hebdo assassinated in Paris.

Other statues intrigue, make people smile or refer to famous artists.
