This vibrant work captures a sleek black cat mid-stride, strolling along a bold yellow-orange fence under a surreal night sky. Neon palm trees glow against a deep teal background, lending the piece an otherworldly, dreamlike quality. With its playful colour palette and stylised flora, Preston Stray balances mystery and warmth—an ode to suburban wanderers, twilight gardens, and quiet moments of observation.
