Maurizio Cattelan

Original Signed Artworks & Limited Edition Prints For Sale

Known for his satirical and shocking sculptures and installations, Maurizio Cattelan is revered for his irreverent, subversive and often controversial works. Cattelan does not shy away from the use of taboo themes such as taxidermy – one of his most recognised and shocking works is Novecento; the body of a former race-horse, hanging by a harness in a drooping position.

« Every work of art is a great promise of escape and, therefore, like an open invitation. »
Maurizio Cattelan

Darkly humorous and critical at the same time, Cattelan often commented on current affairs or public figures; La Nona Ora was a work that portrayed Pope John Paul II being hit by a meteorite.

« If you are searching to figure out what is true and what is not, you will have a sad life. It means you have too much time, and you should do a hobby - like collecting art. »
Maurizio Cattelan

Describing himself as a lazy artist, Cattelan’s works are often simple to the point that they validate his description; one of his earliest exhibitions saw him hang a ‘Be Back Soon’ sign outside the gallery, which he kept closed for the duration – a fitting example of the humorous, tongue-in-cheek nature that pervades his work.

What is Hyper-realism?

Hyperrealism is a genre of sculpture and painting that closely resembles high-resolution photographs. It is an evolution of Photorealism and is often applied to an independent art style or movement that became prominent in Europe and the United States in the early 2000s. Hyperrealist artists focus on extreme detail and precision, creating works that are often indistinguishable from real-life images.
