About the Artist

About the Work
I am interested in creating work that captures the viewer in a dynamic, physical moment.

My paintings are gestural abstractions of contemporary life and human consciousness. They embrace a sense of time and place by acknowledging the specter of human memory within the pace of day-to-day living. I use viscous layers of super-saturated oil color applied against large, quiet surfaces to suggest ease, suspension, conflict and even silence. In this way, I am able to move into the work surface, not simply to reproduce the obvious, but rather to seek greater clarity of vision, more truths.

I like to think my work is about surface, structure and luminosity.

Kate Beck, 2007
