Artwork location: Spain

Original hand painting by the Catalan artist The Catman made in limited edition of twenty signed and numbered similar copies more the artist proof.
Here we present and we sell the artist proof (Prueba de Artista in spanish).
Each unique and slightly different artwork is painted by the artist.

"By some strange phenomenon of the association of ideas, living beings create things.
Understanding the process is difficult for my finite brain, though it is a fact that my mind breeds things that grow until they exist on their own, independent from me.

I don’t regard them as complete, finished pieces, but rather as beings under construction. My sole purpose is to hand over these elements to another person who will complete the story with their own unique point of view and transform my work of art into their own.
That is why the words in my pictures have such an important function. They are both the key and the lock and also the question mark suggesting new paths, unknown even to me.

The relationship that another person establishes with my work draws a line. A line which joins us. A line which transforms me. And a line which lights up my path.
This is all that I can explain about the entities that sometimes emerge from my head (the remaining 85%, like the rest of the universe, is mysterious dark matter)."

The Catman, This side up (E.A.)
Spain  • 1966

Presentation

The Catman (Paris 1966)

In 1966 a child was born in Paris. He grew up and became an adult in Barcelona.

He likes to draw and get lost in the world of ideas. He starts by winning competitions in high school and outside, creating logos, graphics and also furniture. He studies at the fine arts of Barcelona. He decorates, draws, paints, paints, paints, writes his little things, designs objects, invents textile prints, creates ephemeral architecture ... anything capable of being interpreted, possessed by the irreducible spirit of The Catman.

To his world, he gives it the form of a shop, refuge of objects and ideas and a meeting point for designers and artists of the city. Six years later reality devours the dream, the Catman returns to his little things and leaps into the unreal world of advertising as creative and artistic director.

To compensate for this mental leap, he actively participates in the realistic and idealistic world of NGOs, helping to draw the little extra so that the message goes loud and clear.

Currently, he focuses on hanging his paintings on the walls of tenderness and works alongside the advertising strategy of a pioneering organization of volunteers.

He is convinced that being able to help people feel good is a very powerful gift, and giving comes with obligation.

Here and There has been collaborating and representing The Catman since 2005. His works have toured the world.

They are exhibited and sold in Barcelona, Hong-Kong, Paris, Athens, New York, London….

Artist The Catman has his own artistic language between action painting and pop art, with a characteristic combination of lines and texts, both in small and very large formats.

Written words give rhythm to his paintings full of colors and contrasts, thus creating a universal language. “Creativity is my religion".
