‘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

Repost from @harley_gallery • There is one week left of our current exhibition 'Kindred Spirits'. Have you been to see it yet? In response to the exhibition, The Harley Gallery Director Lisa Gee said: "Kindred Spirits is a triumphant celebration of artists connected by a creativity realised outside of the mainstream and the art world at large. This intergenerational and intercultural offering is a testament to the power of art to resonate, and to exist beyond the definition and acceptance of anyone but its maker.” Artwork featured by: @katiepratt_artist Drew Fox Wilfred Avery Joanna Simpson #artexhibition#harleygallery#outsidein#jerwoodcollection @outsidein_uk @jerwoodcollection (at The Harley Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZcTOeKsMKP/?utm_medium=tumblr

Repost from @jerwoodcollection • 🔎FRIDAY FOCUS on ‘Delphinium’ by Katie Pratt Katie Pratt is an artist and abstract painter living and working in London. In 2001 Katie Pratt became the youngest winner of the Jerwood Painting Prize. The title of this work is taken from the flower, delphinium (meaning dolphin-place) which the artist chose because of the colours. The heavily worked and, in places, dense surface is typical of Pratt’s technique. The hairs that broke off from the soft paint brush she used have been incorporated into the surface of the work itself.
