Kat Vandal is a French Pop Artist based in London whose vibrant "Happy Art" transforms preloved toys and moment of joy into bold, dopamine-charged visual experiences.
Her mixed-media works—crafted from pre-loved toys, ball-pit balls, glitter, and neon—merge playfulness with emotional resonance, tapping into the brain’s reward systems to spark connection and delight.
Rooted in the pop culture of the 80s and 90s, Kat’s work reflects the joy and colour of her youth, reframed through the raw urban energy of London’s streets. Influenced by Keith Haring, Banksy, Kandinsky, and Vasarely, her art fuses graphic boldness with movement, spontaneity, and vibrant storytelling.
The emotional heart of her practice stems from motherhood—repurposing her son’s old clothes and toys into memory-infused works of art. This deeply personal approach to upcycling transforms objects of the past into lasting celebrations of life, love, and imagination.
More than décor, Kat’s art offers a multisensory escape into joy and memory. Her mission is to bring smiles, stir happy recollections, and celebrate the beauty of what we leave behind—and what we carry forward.
