Katherine Reekie

"My current work explores the surrealist nature of painting itself. Strange structures pinned and pulled, interact with organic matter to create intriguing and seductive compositions. Through the controlled use of oil paint, I have the ability to create the illusion of believable form and space. Like props on a stage, I arrange my subject matter to evoke a sense of order and purpose. However, on closer inspection the viewer might question the logic of these often-unfamiliar forms. My intention is not to depict reality but to nudge people to question and consider it".
