News about May open house

The ladder – version three – acrylic on linen 20 x 40cm

I am excited to share that I will be showing some new paintings from my home and studio in a pop up exhibition as part of Brighton’s Artists Open House’s, Hove Arts https://www.hovearts.com/

Open Thursday 16th- Sunday 19th May 2024.

11am-6pm

I am showing with three amazing artists and makers Emma Stanton the jeweller, Jane Sarre the ceramicist and Amanda Sumpter, the stone carver who has recently agreed to join us.

All three create very mindful, thoughtful and elegant work which I think will work beautifully against some of my more expressive pieces, there are shared themes about place, loss and longing and a sort of intimacy and honesty which is hard to describe until you see them.

Amanda says

‘My work is concerned with exploring what is seen and what remains hidden. The carved lines and fluid forms of the sculptures hint at an energy suspended within the stillness of the stones’.

I’ll be adding information to website with details soon- but please let me know if you would like an invitation to the preview.

Feeling very grateful

I am still resting and processing the amazing madness of May – the month that is the most intense for artists in Brighton and Hove Uk.

Christian Funnel’s sculptures at our POP UP at 1 Rigden Road – so proud I made this happen!

It sometimes feels like a crazy helter-skelter of deadlines, followed by quietness but mostly I am so proud and happy from all the plans that came to fruition, the connections made and the new friends collectors supporters who flowed towards me, and the amazing artists I exhibited with – and the capacity for open minded appreciation of the Humans who made the effort to visit us in three different venues.

And the people who have come since to the studio to see the work; something I really enjoy – contact me info@katescottpaintings.com to arrange a visit

The Rebchat podcast – Episode 17. Perspectives from Contemporary Painter Kate Scott

I was so lucky to be invited to talk with Cathy Dixon, the lovely host of ‘The Rebchat’, a platform that has conversations with, and shares stories from a wide range of creatives.

We talked about how I came to be an artist, my process, early failures and the pivots that created in my life, early influencers, resilience, redundancy and wellbeing.

It was a lovely opportunity to see what came out with her thoughtful questions.
