About Gail
Gail is an Artist with SouthAfricanArtists.com based in South Africa.
Gail Catlin is the first artist in the world to exploit Liquid Crystal as the basis for her artistic creation.
This highly sensitive, scientific, substance responds immediately to changing intensities of temperature and light with dramatic shifts in colour, reflectivity and sheen. Thereby it has enabled Gail to create a constantly changing, live pictorial surface. Its dynamic chromatic and luminary mutations inject added visual drama and excitement to the artists chosen themes - the life of the isolated African desert, the burning sun, the landscape, the huge variety of wildlife and the endless cycles of hunting, killing and devouring.
The inescapable power and authority of Catlin's work generated her a reputation as one of South Africa's most nimble and inventive technical innovators, and most vibrantly expressive artists. Her work is represented in all the major public art museums and corporate collections in South Africa, and the artist has been invited to exhibit in France, Russia, England, Germany and Amer
