‘Kindred Spirits’ exhibition continues at #harleygallery #welbeck through this weekend, including works from the #jerwoodcollection Repost from @harley_gallery • Meet the Artist: Katie Pratt @katiepratt_artist Katie Pratt is a painter, living and working in London. Her abstract oil paintings impose organisation on disordered, splashy paint, exhibiting a simultaneously organic and geometric quality. The paintings begin with exaggerated, roughly brushed gestures or colour squeezed directly out of the tube and progress towards meticulous systemic order. Any uniformities are organised and categorised, arranging the messy ground, leading to intricate, unexpected compositions. Pratt’s paintings contemplate how humans organise, socially and politically. The core consideration in the works is the societal balance between regulation and individual freedom, as represented by supervision of intuition. Her paintings are exhibited internationally, recently in the John Moores Painting Prize Photo Credit @bjdeakin_photography [katiepratt.net] @jerwoodcollection https://www.instagram.com/p/CZhetPEsqbM/?utm_medium=tumblr
