• ‘Through ceramics and painting, I weave stories about love and longing, and the superstitions that connect them.’

    Cats, Ghosts, & Other Stories invites viewers into Vipoo Srivilasa’s world of whimsy and reflection — where myth, memory, and emotion converge. Through intricately detailed ceramics and intimate self-portraits, Vipoo weaves stories of love and longing, and the superstitions that connect them.

    Accessible, positive, and beautiful, Vipoo’s work celebrates connection and care, finding meaning in both the everyday and the imagined. Bringing together two complementary bodies of work, this exhibition reveals the playful, tender, and mysterious sides of life, where cats become companions of the spirit world, ghosts linger with affection, and self-portraiture becomes a vessel for vulnerability and humour.
