gail catlin

The inescapable power and authority of Catlin's work generated her a reputation as one of South Africa's most inventive technical innovators, and vibrantly expressive artists. Her work is represented in all the major public art museums and corporate collections in South Africa.

Catlin is well known for her work with liquid crystal, a highly sensitive, scientific, medium that responds immediately to changing intensities of temperature and light with dramatic shifts in colour, reflectivity and sheen enabling Gail to create a constantly changing, live pictorial surface. Its dynamic chromatic and luminary mutations  add visual drama and excitement to the artists chosen themes - the life of the isolated African desert, the burning sun, the landscape, the huge variety of wildlife and the endless cycles of hunting, killing and devouring.
