"(uhuru) waterfall no. 1 at hakeakala national park" - abstract landscape

2022

About the Item

This painting is an abstract landscape on canvas featuring vibrant layers of bright yellow green, purple, orange and blue. Katherine Sandoz is inspired by the work of Helen Frankenthaler, Richard Diebenkorn, Morris Louis, Vincent Van Gogh, Willem de Kooning, Robert Motherwell and Neil Welliver. Katherine Sandoz’s recent series of paintings “uhuru” draws upon the layered landscape, language, and native flora of Maui, but contains its own version of physics. Beyond their painted plies, skewed shapes and transparent botanicals, these works situate the viewer in hardened lava, inside caves and on cliffs of falling rock, crouched beneath the mass of 2,400 miles of ocean in every direction. The paintings say, “we are the smallest and nature is vast,” stretching out to our first beginnings and our last endings. Here, the governing principle is a tenet unique to Hawaiian cosmology: the land is the first genealogical ancestor of its people. Aloha ʻāina (love of the land) integrates science, society and spirituality, making us duty-bound to serve, love and honor the land. These paintings are receipts of the mystery, depth, power and beauty of Maui Nui and her seven shield volcanoes. Katherine utilizes multiple passages of transparent and opaque, warm and cool, textured and smooth layers of water-based media, creating dynamic compositions allowing the viewer to experience the subject matter from multiple vantage points at once. She holds an MFA in Painting and MFA in Illustration from the Savannah College of Art and Design, where she was Professor of Illustration from 1997 to 2005. She has been living and working in Savannah since the mid-1990s.
