Artists: Gail Catlin

Gail was born in March 1948. She started working with bronze, but made a name for herself in the South African art world with her liquid crystal paintings.

She is an internationally acclaimed artist who currently resides in Cape Town, South Africa. Using a dynamic harmony of mixed media, alchemy and expressionism, Gail is the only artist in the world who has perfected the technique of using liquid crystal in an art form.

Liquid crystals are infinitely flexible and fluid enabling transformational art technology with mesmerising qualities. This highly sensitive substance responds immediately to changing intensities of temperature and light with dramatic shifts in colour, reflectivity and sheen providing a constantly changing live pictorial surface.
