About The Work

Fantastical, unsettling, surreal, dramatic—these are the impressions Cathie Pilkington makes on the viewer with an etching that’s similar in tone to her painted bronze sculpture. It’s part of a suite of four prints, along with The Consolation of Nature, Bright Birds, and Origami Goat. Striking and powerful are Pilkington’s darkened background and exaggerated shadows.

About Cathie Pilkington

Cathie Pilkington is a London-based sculptor and a figurative artist, renowned for crafting increasingly ambivalent forms. Her sculptural practice combines the interrelated and antagonistic worlds of fine art and craft. She carefully creates pieces from a vast array of materials, adopting ready-made elements, which are freely assembled, as well as incorporating modeling, carving, painting and other finishes to her works. Her sculptures often take on doll-like forms, which approach the immediacy of ordinary figurative playthings, and thereby challenge the art-world’s customary and mediated relationship between the viewer and the artwork.

Pilkington has previously showed with Bruton Gallery, Bath (1992) and was in the 1st RWA Open Sculpture Exhibition (1993). She is currently represented by Marlborough Fine Art, where she had solo shows in 2007, 2010 and 2014. She also recently had an exhibition The Value of the Paw at the V&A Museum of Childhood in 2012. Two of Pilkington’s painted bronzes, Reclining Doll and Twinkle, were selected for the RA’s Summer Exhibition 2014. Her Reclining Doll sculpture was awarded the Sunny Dupree Family Award for Female Artist at the Summer Exhibition this year.
