For canned’s illustrious art criticisms.

The use of symmetry in design is a well establish concept. People like things to look balanced. Balanced things tend to be stronger looking. It also provides us with the feeling that we are getting all of the available information. Things are not hidden with symmetry. I have previously spoken about the implications of using pets in art. However these specific cats are not pets. These are cat-objects of art. We have a type of visiual assemblage made out of individual  cats, taking multiple  scenes and putting them together into a large scene. 

One of the interesting things about the symmetry of this shirt is how it focuses our attention. All of our cats are looking inward, towards our center cat. I think the cat in the middle could be considered the Jesus/God cat. This is the cat that all the other cats are subservient too. Our two lowest cats are  direct servants of our Jesus cat, they prop up the Jesus cat into the crowd. I think this photo illustration is a re-birth of Gothic Art. 

TLDR; Cat shirts are Neo-Illuminated scripts (as relevant to the twitter generation)
