About the work

The piece is part of preparatory work for large paintings dealing with flesh and a continual fascination with English history, storytelling, violence and sexuality. It pulls from an obsession with the English underground Industrial music scene, including musicians such as Coil and the soundtracks of Derek Jarman. I am trying to evoke a distinct flavour of perversion and warped folklore unique to ‘Englishness’.

About the artist:

Born Sydney, Cat Roissetter lives and works in Sheffield. Graduated from BA Illustration Camberwell College of Arts (2007), and MA Visual Communication Royal College of Art (2011).

Roissetter likes to look at contemporary British culture including uncomfortable aspects such as hooliganism and incorporate these with nursery rhyme and traditional folklore. The forms and figures which then appear are repeated and overdrawn until they take on compositions and fictions with more ambiguity, but still alluding to the sources from which they came.

Selected exhibitions include Nathalie Karg Gallery, New York (2021); Artissima Art Fair, Torino (2020); English Filth, Cob Gallery, London (2020); The flesh of thought, Blyth Gallery, London (2019); Draw Art Fair, Saatchi Gallery, London (2019); Through the Looking Glass, Cob Gallery, London (2018); Members Show, Bloc Projects, Sheffield (2018); Drawing now, Carreau du Temple, Paris (2018); A Thousand Plateaus, Brocket Gallery, London (2016); Cartography, House of Fairy Tales, Cloud Cuckoo Land, London (2018); and Jerwood Drawing Prize, London (2013).

Awards include the Augustus Martyn Print Prize (2011).

Auction close and bidder extension

The auction closes at 9pm, Mon 5th July. However, if a bid is placed in the last two minutes, the auction end time will extend on that lot for an additional two minutes, or until all bidding has ceased. This is called Popcorn Bidding or Bidder Extension and gives all bidders an equal chance of winning.

Bid Increments

£50 increments for bids of £300 – £1,000

£100 increments for bids of £1,000 – £2,000

£250 increments for bids of £2,000 – £5,000

£500 increments for bids of £5,000 plus

Maximum bids

You are more likely to be the winning bidder if at the outset you place a maximum bid i.e. the maximum amount you are willing to pay for the work. Your maximum bid is not visible to other bidders. If another bidder exceeds your maximum bid you will receive an automatic notification. If you have placed a maximum bid the auction site will automatically place bids on your behalf, but only as much is necessary to make sure that you remain the highest bidder, until it reaches your maximum bid. These automatic bids are placed in increments, as shown above.
