MANUEL I

Bertrand Catteuw showcases his passion for sport and his three-dimensional self. Bertrand Catteuw's sculptures leave no visitor indifferent. They exude strength and intense emotion. As a sportsman - he is a triathlete (cycling, swimming, running) - the sculptor knows the gestures and suffering of effort. The artist stages the sporting feat using different materials to symbolize speed, performance, pain, and the joy of the winner. Taking an interest in anatomy, he emphasises tense muscles and a contorted face. Touches of color and a variety of materials (metal, resin, wood, etc.) transcend the whole. Bertrand Catteuw's works all have one thing in common: the face. It's his own, reproduced in three-dimensional self-portraits.... Sabine Bertaux , La voix de Nord.
