| Biography |
|
Kate Allen’s ambient and impressionistic oil paintings have a dreamlike presence. Creating the illusion of a vibrating space before and beyond the canvas, Allen’s works draw in the gaze.
A kind of more sensuous and sensitive development from the Optical Art of the ’60s, Allen’s work is visually and emotionally vibrant. Although they are cool and non-gestural, these paintings throb as if they had a pulse.
An MA graduate of the Slade School of Fine Art in London, Allen has participated in numerous group shows and her work has featured in major publications such as Art Review, Vogue and Elle Decoration.
She currently lives and works in London. |
