About His Work
"The starting point is completely mental, as is the arrival point, and is the result of the inner dynamic of symbols and colours, from which, consequently, sorcery conjures up poetic proposals and sublimated allusions, enough to provoke and awaken the fantasy and imagination. From here, a trip into the unconscious introduces us to the core of the mystery of time, nature and human experiences. There is a reason why in most of Cattani’s works, alongside the various ogival forms of several paintings, different archetypes are depicted and expressed through an abstract and calibrated synthesis".
(Text by Luigi Lambertini 2004)
"In
Cattani’s works the graphic sign operates on the surface,
depositing on
it forms born from dreams, from dream anxiety that leads to
consciousness, the archetypal images of life, hidden in the distinct
magma of pulses".
(Gabriella Belli, 2001)
"Rules do not exist
in Cattani’s works and forms do not always obey the logic of
a
civilized imaginary because they take shape in ways that are constantly
different and contrary".
(Ingo Bartsch, 2006)
