Ready and Waiting! Eeek

By kat

Everything is sorted for my “Warrior” exhibition. I ended up with seven pieces which fit very nicely in the Neilson Hays Garden Gallery. Anymore and I think I would have had to have surgery! The detail on the work actually caused me physical pain; in my hand, my neck and my back!

The opening reception is the day after tomorrow. Excited and nervous. I don’t have any idea, what-so-ever, how this collection is going to be perceived. Its daunting to say the least.

Personally, I have to admit I’m quite proud of them. They are unique and took a lot of sweat and patience to produce. I think I tested myself for this show, and hopefully it will be apparent in the work. Its a subject matter that defines me and I really care about it, which makes the anticipation even worse!

Here’s a sneak peak at one of the images that I have not yet released:

"Portrait of a Lady" - pen & ink on paper

Warrior

By kat

The work for this exhibition is unlike anything I have ever shown before, but it is a style I have been playing with for many years. It began as a protest against computer generated images and developed from there. Each piece is, therefore, entirely hand produced.

“Warrior” is a tribute to the strength and endurance of womankind. The pieces depict women in our past, present and future who are forced to face adversity. Whether it is through tradition, religion, the work place or society’s boundaries, women in the 21st Century continue to suffer for their sex.

I believe that as a woman, it is my responsibility to honour them and never belittle the battles that women have fought, and continue to fight, to allow many of us to stand where we do today. Those women are my warriors…

Fighting Distraction

By kat

I’m currently working on my newest exhibition to be held at The Neilson Hays Library on Suriwong Road, in August. I find I am constantly distracted by people, pets and other projects. My mind seems a tad scattered. I am getting there…slowly but surely.

The work I am producing is like nothing I have ever exhibited before: detailed pen and ink drawings. Very illustrative. They have always been the kind of work I do solely for myself. But I think its time to let them out for some air.

Watch this space for further information as to the opening reception date etc.

If you’re bored check out this site that a friend introduced me to – a site of virtual pin boards! Of course I had to sign up and start my own boards as soon as I saw it. Great place to find inspiration! I’m a bit of a collector of…well… anything I can get my hands on, really. Virtual or otherwise ;o) so this particular site suits me down to the ground. Enjoy.

European Commission Exhibition

By kat

I spent the afternoon talking at the opening of my exhibition at the European Commission. The cozy event was presided over by the Head of the EU Delegation and was held solely for the staff members who will be looking at my work everyday, to give them a little insight into my art.

I have to admit I was a little nervous. I have never been one for public speaking but I thought it went pretty well. I got a few questions thrown my way and everyone was listening intently so…phew. Below are a few photos of my work on the walls.

The Paintings Are Going Up

By kat

I have received confirmation that my paintings will be going up this month in the main office of the European Commission/Delegation, in Bangkok, on Wireless Road.

The two collections that will be exhibited are ‘Soul’ and ‘Monsoon’.

The European Commission regularly fills their offices with art by local painters to convey their support for the arts in Thailand. Many visiting and local delegates pass through these offices daily and the art lends a little colour to an otherwise stark work space as well.

This is not a public exhibition and is purely for the pleasure of those that visit or work at the European Commission’s offices.

Can’t wait to see what all my work will look like hanging up together. It could be madness unless I get a nice flow going. Exciting!
