RikCat
Rik Cat is fast becoming one of my favourite artists. I’ve been checking out his work for ages but when I saw Ponder the other week his whole back catalogue made some kind of sense all of a sudden.
“Most of the objects that I use are found pieces of paper from the street and miscellaneous junk mail. I have a particular fondness for stamped random numbers that are found on parking tickets. I try to use images from the past, type from foreign language magazines, and drawings from my own sketchbook that I feel strong about. Then I apply acrylic paint on top of those sketches and images to complete the piece. By working in such a random manner, it is very satisfying when this process works.”
Make sure you also check out Rickcat’s Flickr page for an up to date stream of his work.
Cheers for putting us on to this work
