About the artist...
Kate Palmer was born in England in 1966. She studied Fine Arts at
Central St Martins and did her MA at the Royal College of Art. She
recently completed a two-year fellowship at Trinity College, Cambridge.
She now lives and works in London.
Her work can be found in many private collections in the UK and
America as well as corporate collections such as Unilever and Pearson.
Palmer's recent work is a symbiosis between painted and drawn elements.
Different uses of overlaid rhythms provide tonal and linear, horizontal,
vertical and diagonal texture.
Multi-shaded monotones let slices of light appear as if by chance,
but nothing about Palmer's works is coincidental. The deliberate
and painstaking design of her paintings is impossible to ignore.
In Palmer's works, the viewer feels compelled to enter into a relationship
with the raw reality of her paintings. They convey a powerful definition
of specific space and an off-centre perspective that dominate the
room.
