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.

‘I paint hoping to chronicle, capture and represent my internal and sensory world. Music helps me locate a state of flow and tap into a place where I can dialogue with the painting. The imagery is unearthed intuitively through layers and gestures, additions and subtractions, helping me to find a state of raw equilibrium, and then the conversation ends.’

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.’

I experience the physical act of painting like a conversation to express the silent voice that I cannot communicate in any other way.

When the conversation finishes, the painting becomes something separate and can appear to be a window into another world, which then reflects the experience of the viewer.

Kate was born in Brighton but 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.
