Cat James

Pin-up torso

Price £500.00

This curiously quirky burlesque style sculpture called 'Pin-Up'  is a mannequin torso covered with an original vintage collage of pin-up poster girlies from the 1930s and 40s. The images are soaked in PVA glue for about a minute then moulded around each section of the torso, which is then left to dry and coated with a UV protective glaze.The freestanding fiberglass cast is very light weight and could be displayed on a small plinth (you might find something suitable at Ikea!) or a nice little vintage side table. The approximate dimensions are 43 cm wide x 87 cm high x 22 cm deep. Each torso is totally unique and made from original retro magazine cuttings individually for you, so please allow 2-3 weeks for delivery. You are more than welcome to email us and specify the type of cuttings you would like to be used for your torso sculpture.

Young artist Cat James is inspired by childhood and old fashioned imagery - especially the sort of pictures found in old housewife style magazines and books. Cat uses her inspiration to create a story-like pieces of work that combines her love of casting objects in plaster and resin with her trademark retro collages. These curiously collectable pop-art sculptures brighten up any room and make a great investment too.
