Kate Taylor
A Secret Garden I

About the Item

After graduating with a Fine Arts degree, Kate Taylor did not pursue art immediately. It seemed then that angst was a prerequisite for becoming a full-time artist, she instead, started a corporate career in marketing and communications where her creativity still had an outlet. Coming from a family with artistic pedigree, she thought it inevitable that she would return to her roots. Walking away from the corporate world in 2008, she has been painting abstract landscapes since, exhibiting locally and internationally, winning awards and people’s hearts. Kate paints from a place of joy. Her process involves absorbing the sensory experiences in nature, and painting from memory to transmit joy. From the effects of staining birch panels to the vibration of contrasting jewel tones, Kate’s paintings evoke both emotion and mystery. They transmit a free-flow of joyous, energetic, and at the same time tranquil emotions. Her artistic choices convey simplicity and gentle movement, teardrop shapes and cascading lines seem to dangle, scatter, and ripple. Having established her studio in the country she fully lives through the seasons and the cycle of life – embracing the harsh Canadian winters, watching the rebirth of spring, breathing the fresh summer air and watching the trees shed their leaves in the fall. Her collection of paintings come to life as she observes her surroundings and nature’s resilience. Kate has exhibited widely in Canada and Toronto and internationally. Her sought-after work has been recognized on different occasions as Best in Show and the People’s Choice.

  • Urban Abstraction (ripped off posters) Italian Expressionist Painting on Canvas
    By Andrea Spinelli
    Located in Firenze, IT
    The present work of art titled "Urban Abstraction (ripped off posters)" is part of a series of paintings that the artist composed in the 1980s and 1990s inspired by the observation of the urban reality of those years. The artist take the cue from his walks in Florence, both in the center and in the suburbs, and by the observation of billboards and posters scattered throughout the city. The mass of information, colors, messages and words were carried on the canvas with acrylic colors, ideally reconstructing the tears and overlaps of all the information and advertising contained on these huge sheets of paper that invade our cities. The geometric lines are overlaid with jagged lines, overlaps and color dripping and also the choice in the color palette, with different shades of white, gray, rose, orange red and blue helps in rendering the result of the tears and ripped paper. The result is a beautiful multicolored modern abstract canvas, both aesthetically and ethically, with many rich layers of color, texture and expression in which the artist leaves his own message. The painting is housed in a simple modern white lacquer wood frame. Andrea Spinelli...
