New Works, an international online painting solo exhibition by Kathryn Neale opens on July 31 and will continue through August 31, 2021.

Kathryn Neale works are inspired by the interior design and home decoration, specifically traditional floral wallpaper and textile patterns from the UK/Europe.

In her statement she wrote: "I am constantly drawn back again and again to pattern that evokes nature, specifically plants and flowers. Floral patterns, for example, provide a huge database of visual imagery that come with their own rich historical and culture significance. Within this context, I can explore a wide range of subject matter".

Other Info: 

I’m a painter who primarily works in acrylics but also experiments in multi-media, collage and chalk paints on a variety of surfaces. My visual inspiration is sourced from the interior design and home decorating industries, specifically traditional floral wallpaper and textile patterns from the UK/Europe.

I am constantly drawn back again and again to pattern that evokes nature, specifically plants and flowers. Floral patterns, for example, provide a huge database of visual imagery that come with their own rich historical and culture significance. Within this context, I can explore a wide range of subject matter.

Bringing the beauty of nature inside to decorate our homes and interior spaces is universal and cross-cultural. It's almost like it's own language with symbols and stylized motifs. But it's not nature itself as these patterns represent an idealized version of our perceived beauty of what nature can or should be for us. And it's even more relevant today since globally we are increasingly becoming more separated from nature then we've ever been, so we feel the need to surround ourselves with imagery that inspires us.

Color is also another important aspect of my work, primarily drawing from pre-mixed palette swatches from hardware stores. About half of my color palette are pre-mixed colors from swatches in local hardware stores. Lately I have been experimenting with chalk paint, a unique decorative paint sourced from the UK.
