British artist Ed Catley has exhibited across the UK and internationally and has written several academic papers on a variety of Art & Design topics published by Shandong University, Jinan and Cumulus. Catley makes a contribution to the debate about formalism in contemporary art – the concept that everything necessary in a work of art is contained within it. He is also interested in the exhibition as a medium and is the curator of ‘Printing in Dutch’ and ‘Printing in Swiss’. His work is held in permanent collections in Europe, North America and the Middle East.
