bG Gallery is proud to present The Cat’s Meow, a joyful and exuberant solo exhibition by celebrated artist Linda Smith, on view August 28 – September 22, 2025. This showcase features Smith’s latest body of work — a combination of painted totems, along side historical richly patterned paintings, and expressive ceramics that radiate color, whimsy, and resilience. In The Cat’s Meow, Smith invites viewers into a world where bold feline figures, playful faces, and vibrant abstractions intersect. Her new totemic sculptures stack human and animal visages in towers of personality and spirit, while her ceramics pulse with hand-worked textures, lively faces, and heart motifs. The artist’s vividly patterned paintings — layered with dots, dashes, and luminous color — evoke celebration, connection, and hope. Smith’s works in this exhibition echo the need for playfulness and resilience in contemporary life. Her use of vivid hues, layered patterns, and symbolic imagery transforms familiar forms — cats, hearts, faces — into emblems of lightness and strength.
