Dead Industry and Friendly Objects

Katherine Dereli is a Lancashire based oil painter with a classical training in sculpture. Her subjects are various: figures, carefully arranged still-life objects, landscapes, painted quickly in the field or laboured over in the studio. What unites them is a particular approach to paint. Katherine tries to carefully observe and reproduce colour from life, mixed cleanly on the palette and laid down to create a varied surface of alternating high detail and broad ‘messy’ brushwork.

This is an exhibition about particular motifs Katherine often returns to: empty, lonely, nostalgic landscapes, teacups, pot plants and mundane household objects. She wants to create artwork which is loaded with her own subjective experience but with enough breadth for the viewer to formulate their own connection with the subject and the raw stuff of paint.

Artworks on the Landing Gallery are available to purchase.
