From Camiba Gallery:
“Camiba Gallery in Austin is pleased to announce the opening of Kate Bradshaw-David’s solo exhibit, Synergy & Synthesis. The exhibit opens on Thursday August 5th with an in-person reception from 6 to 8pm, and runs through Saturday August 28th, 2021.
Working on wood panels and paper, Kate uses gouache and acrylic to create artworks that engage viewers by immersing us in imaginary abstract worlds of color, line and visual texture. While using both contrasting and complementary colors, she develops forms using ideas of repetition, tessellations, microscopic vs. macroscopic, and the organic flowing forms of fluid dynamics.
In her most recent artworks, she continues to explore the emergence of meaning from pattern, using color as a guidepost and detail and repetition as grounding facets of her artistic practice. The subtle expression of the artists hand in the final creation is critical to the viewers experience of color and movement.
In Kate’s own words, she says,
“I get an effervescent tingle in my brain I get when I am out on a walk and I see a jolt of perfect color; a fluorescent red hibiscus or the perfect gradient from green to violet of a beautyberry plant or a violently orange and purple sunset.
Colors in nature are a symphony rather than a solo performance. The green of a leaf changes from stem to tip, edge to center, front and back. Then there are external elements such as the changing of soft morning light to a hot afternoon glare, a moving shadow or even the age of the leaf. A green leaf is in truth composed of an immeasurable number of shades and tints that all are added up in the viewers eye to “green.”
