Cat Vitebsky

Cat Vitebsky is a figurative sculptor working predominantly in bronze, creating large and small-scale works exploring themes of mythology and of the human condition while also unashamedly celebrating the dynamism and beauty of the human form.

Whilst at art school in London she became fascinated with the Auto-Destructive art movement of the 1960’s and such pioneers as Gustav Metzger and Jean Tinguely. Her practice draws upon distinct parallels between these ‘Happenings’ and the bronze casting method she predominantly uses. Bronze has uniquely transformative properties, and what’s more, the casting process is perpetually Creative/Destructive.

Working from Cambridge Open Studios as well as the Foundry located in Halesworth, Northern Suffolk, Cat uses the burnout method when creating her bronze pieces.
