PAINTINGS

• Katherine Palmers-Needham

Katherine's paintings are about the process of creating a painting; her engagement with her materials, the beauty of colour and a study into the passage of time.

Katherine uses oils on gesso, a surface that retains and records every mark made due to its smooth as ice but also extremely absorbent nature.

Chance occurrences that happen, the traces of lines and marks, the freedom of brushstrokes and the random blurring of paint - all these elements work alongside the considered placement of colour and contribute to the creation of Katherine's paintings.

Katherine's aim is to achieve a play of balance, depth and surface texture to create rich and inviting paintings.

Katherine obtained a first class honours at Chelsea College of Art and has shown nationally in solo and group shows.
