Las obras de arte de gatos acaparan el protagonismo en las celebraciones de Pascua en Hong Kong

Hong Kong ha sustituido al conejo de Pascua por gatos, con instalaciones gigantes y murales por toda la ciudad que deleitan a visitantes y residentes. Esto se suma a la floreciente «economía felina», con un enorme gato naranja dando la bienvenida a los viajeros en el Aeropuerto Internacional de Hong Kong y tres felinos inflables en el Distrito Cultural de West Kowloon.

Un gato naranja gigantesco, que mide ocho metros de largo, siete metros de ancho y 3,5 metros de alto, da la bienvenida a los viajeros en la sala de llegadas del Aeropuerto Internacional de Hong Kong. Sus orejas y cola se mueven, atrayendo a multitud de visitantes que se toman selfis. En el Distrito Cultural de West Kowloon, tres felinos inflables de color naranja se extienden por el césped, deleitando a los visitantes del centro artístico. En Yau Ma Tei, el artista local German Li y sus alumnos reimaginaron La noche estrellada de Vincent van Gogh como un mural con temática gatuna. En el Silvermine Bay Hotel de Mui Wo, un mural de la altura de un piso representa a un gato tridimensional durmiendo panza arriba. La mayoría de las instalaciones aparecieron en los últimos días, según informó el South China Morning Post. Estas exposiciones aprovechan la floreciente «economía felina» de Hong Kong, desplazando al conejo de Pascua como la estrella de las festividades.
