Brian Catling RA

Head, from Brian Catling's CUDDY (2019) Matts Gallery "The open cup head that balances out from the wall is topped up with water. Sinuses and cut arteries are in its face and neck. When the audience stand too close a valve will open inside it..."

Ruskin staff & alumni pay tribute to Brian Catling RA in Cycloptics opening in Athens today. Brian Catling was a Professor of Fine Art at Ruskin, and an artist, writer and magician of sorts - conjuring worlds, playing with the seen and unseen, poking fun, embracing the spectral.
