Biography
Kathryn MacNaughton is one of the most promising names on the current contemporary scene. She arrives at "Organized Chaos" exhibition after finishing her successful residency at the PADA studios in Lisbon, a Portuguese cultural institution that selects every year six artists worldwide. The six works exhibited at Magma gallery are also created thanks to this experience, in particular "Onda" and "Flor".
In these two works in fact Kathryn faces three-dimensionality for the first time, reaching an unprecedented poetic level but still maintaining the energy and instinctiveness of her pictorial features, which we find perfectly represented in the other canvases, including "Ventilar" and "Torcido ". Protagonist of numerous solo and group exhibitions in Canada, including at the Gardiner Museum in Toronto in 2016, and abroad, Kathryn saw her works published in important magazines such as Elle Magazine, District¬W Magazine, The Coveteur and Juxtapoz Magazine. On our Facebook profile you will find her recent interview with Forbes.
The quality of the works exhibited at Magma gallery allows us to immediately perceive the contrast between a pictorial brutality and a compositional rigor that has made Kathryn's style so appreciated and recognizable. An abstract painting that contrasts the two-dimensionality of flat backgrounds, with the force of curvilinear shapes that deconstruct the composition, like instinctive gashes. The meticulous process of overlapping layers creates works that are at once flat and sculptural, vital and suspended in time.
