CMYKissa

CMYKissa is a conceptual art project that explores the intersection of color theory and feline aesthetics. The project typically manifests as a series of digital or physical artworks where common cat imagery is rendered using only the four primary colors of the CMYK printing process: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (Black).

The artist behind CMYKissa, whose identity is often kept private or uses a pseudonym, aims to deconstruct familiar representations of cats. By limiting the color palette, the artist challenges the viewer to perceive the subject matter in a new light, focusing on form, shadow, and the interplay of subtractive colors rather than photorealistic detail. The resulting images often possess a graphic, almost abstract quality, while still retaining the recognizable essence of a cat.

CMYKissa has been presented in various online galleries and art exhibitions. Its appeal lies in its minimalist approach and its ability to provoke thought about how we perceive color and imagery in both the digital and analog realms. The project invites contemplation on the limitations and possibilities of defined color spaces and their impact on artistic expression.
