Paula Cahill
Triple Catenary: canvas painting w/ multi-colored arc lines on pink & green

2023

About the Item

Paula Cahill's linear abstract compositions are often comprised of a single, luminous line that meanders, changes color, and seamlessly connects back to itself. This piece combines Cahill''s signature color-changing line organized as system of catenaries -- the curves that hanging chains or cables assume under their own weight when supported only at their ends. This painting is signed on the back. It comes complete with all necessary hardware and is ready to install. No need to frame. “Line is everything. Extending infinitely to the past and future, line forms the basis of our realities.” ––Paula Cahill Originally from Detroit, Michigan, Cahill pursued an education in the arts after relocating to the Philadelphia area. She studied the figure for many years before transitioning to complex, abstract paintings. Her paintings are exhibited in the U.S. and have garnered regional awards including "Best of Show" in the "Celebration of Life" exhibit at the Perelman Center, and honorable mentions at Goggleworks and the Abington Art Center. Cahill's paintings are held in private, public, and corporate collections including Temple University, Capital One, and PNC Bank Corporation. Her studio is located in Philadelphia, PA.
