WARC Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of new work by KateBrown.

This exhibition represents an intersection of intentional art practice enquiry and the ever present unconscious primum mobile.

KateBrown’s investigation of space as abstraction, has for the past twenty years been the focus of her  intellectual pursuit. 

In this body of work, KateBrown is now able to share one of the deeply rooted personal sources for her innovative visual lexicon.

By comparing abstraction to the disembodied state experienced during the trauma of incest, KateBrown has been able to propel the
concept and depiction of negative space to a different dimension. 

Using black velvet painted with extract that removes the ground colour and transforms it to gold, KateBrown is compelled to refute the Void.
