Kate Shepherd Art

Kate Shepherd House of Levy, 2022 Oil and enamel on panel 20 x 14 1/2 in (50.8 x 36.8 cm) JPHB 5184

Enamel on board Note the work is tapezoidal, so the measurements are 32 (29) x 72 Shepherd is known for her richly colored paintings built with layers of monochromatic enamel and especially for her exploration of perspectival space. The various reflective surfaces establish a spatial discourse across the panel, to the viewer and within the space housing the painting. Being situationally reactive to light and movement, the paintings take on sculptural characteristics in their constant change. Shepherd's unique union of drawing and painting, her adherence to the laws of linear perspective, and the subdued shifts in tone and luminosity that create hypothetical, architectural spaces into which viewers are pulled have been signature ingredients in an oeuvre that never feels prosaic or formulaic. She is very much a "process" painter and the getting to "here" from "there" warrants its own discussion. Her work is featured in numerous museum collections, including The Phillips Collection...
