About the Item

Kate Groobey is a painter and performance artist working in the South of France and Yorkshire, England. Groobey begins each figure as a line drawing, made from life studies, drawn from magazines or sometimes from her own imagination. These drawings are developed as watercolor paintings, which Groobey cuts up, reassembles, and repaints. If their poses seem impossible, it’s because they are: these bodies have been reconfigured several times. This process is repeated until Groobey is satisfied with the image. For her print, Kate Grooney was inspired by the Tuscan surroundings, the image of the Italian farmer in front of wavering Cyprus trees has a depth that is quite unique to a print due to the many layers used to build up this expressive image. Select exhibition history includes: OFR Gallery, Paris; Saatchi Gallery, London; Mare Street Biennale 2010, London; Pure Pleasure, Atopos with Ikon Gallery, Venice. Groobey was the first woman to win the Daiwa Foundation Art Prize in 2018.
