About Stefano Cattai:
Stefano Cattai creates his paintings and mixed media works in response to contemporary and societal events that peak his interest. His works are like stages set up for surrealist dramas to unfold. “The human presence interacts with fanciful architectural structures, with animals and with the vegetable kingdom,” he explains, “without forgetting about the connection with technology.” Cattai’s style is bold and physical with an emphasis placed on swirling brushwork and an energetic palette. His mixed media works are divergent stylistically, using clippings from magazines to achieve a comparatively orderly appearance, employing intricate pattern and an ostensibly puppet-like construction while maintaining his characteristic sense of drama.

Stefano Cattai studied at the University Accademia Belle Arti in Venice, Italy where he was exposed to a variety of cultures that revealed an appreciation for Surrealism and Pop Art. He has exhibited frequently around Italy and recently acquired representation in New York. Cattai lives and works in Italy.
