About the Artist      

In a shift from the artist’s usual representational work, Kitty Horton presents new abstracted work in Still Line. Exploring painterly qualities and process-based colour application, Horton focused on eliminating recurring motifs and instead allowed the playful, imperfect satisfaction of working with materials to form the basis for these works. The lines that dominate the pieces are the new motif, used as a form of gestural mark-making that is imperfect and unmeasured.

The use of colour outside of the previous monochromatic and muted palette of Horton’s previous work is a new development, also. In Still Line, we see the use of neons alongside a new (albeit subdued) palette of pinks, greens, browns and blues. Horton states that these new works acted as a meditative performance removed from the purpose and content, abstract and playful in its creation.

About the Artist

Kitty Horton

Kitty Horton’s artworks often explore the materiality of oils, mixed media, ceramics and drawing as primary mediums in her visual art practice. Inspired by the American Minimalists, Kitty investigates her surroundings by creating distorted shapes, forms and motifs. Mark-making and the lucky accident extend the relationship between painting and drawing. Kitty has recently engaged with spatial configurations of interior objects to provide compositional structures. The mediums of drawing, ceramics and painting enable Kitty to investigate further the hard and soft duality of opposing, sometimes complimentary, interior forms. 

Kitty completed a Bachelor of Fine Art from the Queensland College of Art (Griffith University) in 2013 and a Graduate Diploma in Education (Senior years) at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) in 2014. Kitty actively participates in the arts industry with public art projects, workshops, and residencies. Her artwork has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions throughout Australia and a group exhibition internationally in Miami, Florida. Private clients in Australia, New Zealand and France collect her work.
