A.J. Catalano's artwork is inspired by his fascination with apparent functionality.  His process is one where his reaction to existing forms and objects is the springboard for creating objects that have referential aspect to the figurative. He employs technology and light to emphasize or create visual interest.

Catalano is interested in exploring the tenuous and fragile quality of forms as they take shape and  that are often regarded as “industrial” in terms of their visual cues and subconscious references.   He plays with this dichotomy.

Catalano is a third-generation New Orleans native who has lived in Los Angeles since 2000.
