A fat pink cat uses self-satisfied a round tower, which rises up in the evening sky as pedestal. It is parading and proudly hoisted its flag on its tail. Andreas Floris's aquatint etching "The cat tower" is dreamlike-bizarre.

The artist's sense of humour definitively breaks through when he adds to the fantastic ensemble a miniature mouse tower, on which a small rodent mischievously grinning satirises the cat. The Hungarian-born Floris calls these works "visions". They make up the largest part of the exhibition which is currently exhibited in the Klinikum Fürth.

And that's why they are suitable for the Hospital. Even where also less art-loving people stay, the cute dragons, bird-fishes and flying snails are likely to be well received.
