Kate, photographed installing her solo show ‘Crossing Over’ at Meiklejohn Gallery, last year.

Kate makes highly personal work, which speaks of remembered places, longing and grief, which seems to connect to people’s raw emotions, and bring something powerful and sensitive into the homes of her collectors, triggering their own memories in a way that is comforting and resonates.

She has written: “Painting (for me) is like reverse onion peeling, with each covering of paint revealing more of the truth, and the core of whatever one is trying to say, through adding layers you are also removing layers, showing your passage through time.”

Kate has a studio at home in Hove, UK and had a solo show at Meiklejohn Gallery, Lewes, last year and has recently exhibited at Gallery 19a Brighton, Glyndebourne Opera House, Rogue Gallery, St Leonards On Sea, and Regency Town House, Hove and Gallery 40 Brighton.

Nerissa Taysom, curator from Glyndebourne, wrote:

‘Kate Scott’s recent paintings ring with freshness. Carefree mark-making and a surprising palette of plaster pink, acid greens, turquoise and a surprising tomato red encourage the viewer to look again. Layers of paint create dense, opaque sections fringed by loose and translucent washes of colour – light and dark, liquid and solid. There is a sense that Scott’s surfaces are constantly shifting in her hand.’

Kate was born in Brighton, and studied Fine Art Painting BA Hons, at the University of East London. She then completed a Masters in Fine Art printmaking in Brighton, and had studios in various locations in London where she lived for almost twenty years.

I experience the physical act of painting as a conversation, expressing the silent voice I cannot communicate in any other way. When the conversation ends, the painting becomes something separate and can appear to be a window into another world, reflecting the viewer’s experience.
