ONE CAT.
MANY HUMAN STORIES.
ABOUT / SKYZZO
BOH! CATS is a visual research project built around a minimal figure: a cat reduced to silhouette, eyes and presence.
It is not a mascot. It is a silent observer that enters the scene, takes a position and reflects human behaviour back at the viewer.
SKYZZO
Daniele Esposito — visual artist
Skyzzo is the artistic alias of Daniele Esposito. His visual language developed outside a conventional academic path, through urban culture, drawing, tattooing, photography and painting.
BOH! first appeared in the early 1990s as a personal street tag. Over time, it became a signature and a recurring mark throughout his visual practice.
Since 1992, Skyzzo has worked professionally as a tattoo artist, developing a practice built around image, composition and a direct relationship with people. Alongside tattooing, drawing, photography and painting have remained constant parts of his creative path.
In 2026, these experiences converged into BOH! CATS: an independent body of work in which an essential visual vocabulary becomes a way to observe social dynamics and everyday human behaviour.
THE OBSERVER.
The visual grammar of BOH! CATS is deliberately limited: an essential silhouette, no descriptive anatomy, and eyes as its main expressive device.
The same figure can become an individual, an outsider, a witness or a disruptive presence. Its meaning changes through context, repetition, colour, crowds and small shifts in expression.
The cat remains the same. What changes is everything around it.
CROWD
THE INDIVIDUAL AND THE GROUP
Difference becomes immediately visible. A change in colour, scale, expression or position is enough to separate one figure from the others — and that difference can generate exclusion, judgement and isolation, but also resistance and identity.
The cats function as a simplified human crowd. Repetition is not used simply to create a pattern: it builds collective pressure.
Within that pressure, the different individual becomes the point where every gaze converges.
How much of ourselves are we willing to change in order to belong?
RAW WORKS.
SIGN. WRITING. REPETITION.
Alongside the more structured works, BOH! CATS develops through an ongoing series of raw works — faster, less controlled and more fragmented.
Drawing, writing, repetition, mistakes and accidental marks share the same surface. The character can appear, overlap, disappear and return.
The gesture moves closer to the note, the wall, the torn page and spontaneous writing than to the finished image.
These are not preparatory studies. They are an independent part of the research: a space where the language of BOH! CATS can remain mobile, serial and open to different forms.
FROM IMAGE TO PRESENCE.
An artwork can be observed. It can be collected. It can hang on a wall.
But what happens when the same image enters a space that was never meant for looking at art?
BOH! CATS is beginning to move beyond the canvas — towards walls, streets and places crossed by people in their everyday lives.
In public space, the relationship changes. The cat is no longer simply an image to be looked at. It becomes a presence.
When an image built to observe meets people who never entered a space to look at art, who really becomes the observer?
