Kate Dunn
Kate Dunn (Studio 0-209) presents paintings from the new series abrasives. Looking at themes of touch, rage and absence, these works involve using abrasive tools to paint on car wrap, exploring the intentionality behind a kind of touch. To book an appointment please email [email protected]. About the artist Kate Dunn makes paintings and environments about devotional practice, embodied presence, and the existential notion of painting as vocational work. Dunn’s experiences of dissociation and nihilism led to a questioning around visual identity and repetitive artistic approach. This, in turn, birthed their 2023 exhibition, ‘mid-morning in the scriptorium’, in which the surface appears a fragmented montage of painting styles. Refusing stylistic categorisation, there is no focal point in these works, rather the figure and ground dynamic remain in constant flux, rejecting notions of fixed meaning or finite knowledge. www.k8dunn.org
