Sold on the last day of our COMMON GROUND exhibition at The Regency Town House with Emma Stanton. Ashdown Pottery Susanne Winter and Davina Colmer.
‘Let Bystanders, be Bystanders’ where my father’s silhouette appeared in the on the left and brought back so many memories, held within the image, coming up from my subconscious,
Having an exhibition helps me to verbally process somethings that I have not had a chance to do it before I just wanted to share that here.
All the conversations count, I am really grateful for the opportunity to answer People’s questions and find the stories and words to convey all the stuff l am trying to say.
‘I am glad, you waited for me’ 100 x 100cm acrylic on canvas, used in friends house to help stage pre sale.
I had a great experience recently, a friend asked me if she could borrow some paintings to help stage her house for sale.
It’s a very gorgeous house, very calm and full of light, with lots of existing great art, including one of mine she bought previously.
But she gave me permission to make some suggestions and to edit what was already there and it was great fun, very easy and energising!
After so many occasions hanging work in various places, I seem to have a bit of a natural instinct for where things would work, and what might need to be taken away for excisting things to shine.
A waterfall of distinct possibilities – acrylic on linen 45 x 35cm ( will be showing at ‘Common Ground’ exhibition, Hove very soon)
We played around, moving things, removing others, adjusting heights of paintings to work better in rooms, and changed some furniture around, and added some flowers for the photographs, and she was thrilled, the house sold after the first viewing luckily.
This is something I’m going to look into doing more often perhaps working with an estate agent in the future, I think it’s great to show how Contemporary art can work in domestic spaces, and elevate them.

Common Ground. Exhibiting together previously has allowed us to develop a combined aesthetic and kindness in choice of work and its curation, exploring our collective relationship between abstraction, colour, adornment and function in 2 and 3 dimensional work.
The Regency Town House provides the perfect setting to develop this further, demanding as it does a strong dialogue and coherence between the elegance of pared back Regency architecture and the works exhibited in this glorious space.

‘All Aglow’ – acrylic on board 13.4 × 21.4 cm photo credit Kate Scott
A lot of artists talk about being inspired by a type of light, a time of day, and I wonder if this is sometimes seen as a cliche? But this small painting came into being with a transient sweep of apricot paint, that reminded me, almost instantly of that ravishing, fleeting time of day, sunset or dusk, where the warm light resembles looking though a glass of Aperol Spritz. A little bit seductive, take a breath, it doesn’t last long. And this photograph, a few swipes to the left, shows the time at a wonderful family wedding last year where we had all eaten, made our toasts, and sat watching the sunset as they cleared the room for the dancing. Everything was ‘Aglow’, literally, including the people, convivial, relaxed, and I remembered all of that, and held the memory in my mind’s eye.
Photo of that early evening taken by a fellow guest. N Bordoli.
This was how I was trying to explain the name and mood behind this little painting, when it was propped up, as a bit of an afterthought at the two women show, DUOLOGUES I had earlier this month with Cath Whiteoak at Gallery 19a Brighton.
And the name just came to me – what is interesting as how a small painting can hold so much, and glow in a corner, bringing some warmth, and evoking a special time.
And I think that’s partly how I choose art for my own house, to bring a glow and comfort and intimacy to a Space.
Greeting me like an old friend when I glance in that corner of the room!
I met Cath while exhibiting at Oakbank last year, fell in love with her work and we had an instant artistic meeting of minds.
So we are excited to co-curate this exhibition of painting and assemblage sculpture at gallery 19a, presenting the curiously synergetic dialogues within our work.
We both explore materials, process, intention and chance, noticing an emergence and resonance within our practice.
The work encourages a recognition of the unforeseen and elusive and arrives at a point of connection that seems to come from nowhere, yet everywhere.
Sisyphus – the assemblage sculpture I bought from Cath last year – it has a mixture of playfulness and profoundity that I adore. To see more of her work here is her website www.cathwhiteoak.com
Visiting – we should both be at the gallery as many days as possible, but if you want to make sure that you will see us, you can always send me an email at info@katescottpaintings.com to make sure I will be there -I am really excited to see how our work sits together, and hopes to see some of you if you can visit, open Frid 27th Feb – Tues 3rd March 10am- 5pm .

‘Box Breathing’ – acrylic on canvas 120 x 120cm was painted during my Meiklejohn solo show ( and before) it went through many iterations, and ended up very calm and uncluttered, resulting in my friend the sculptor Davina Colmer saying ‘it’s like a breath’ hence the name. ‘Box Breathing’ sold soon after going up on the wall in May and now sits in this gorgeous Sussex home
Wonderful to see how well it sits against this rich warm yellow wall colour.
Best exhibition will be Artists At Oakbank, in Storrington, the last weekend of September and first weekend of October with 10 other artists and makers https://katescottpaintings.com/exhibitions/
