New Paintings by Kat Hutter
Kat Hutter is known to most as half of the ceramic studio Kat & Roger, where her bold geometric graphics play off Roger's forms to create the balance the duo has become known for.
In her new solo exhibition at Face Guts in Los Angeles, Hutter pushes her geometry into a new dimension. Her practice has long been driven by an investigation of dichotomies, both formal and conceptual, and here she turns that lens on the moments where disorder invades the structure of life: reinterpreting shards of cracked ceramic into rhythmic, patterned compositions that impose a sense of control and spatial order onto the chaos.
"These paintings offer a small window into the way I see the world. The awe, beauty, love and moments of pure joy as well as the pain, confusion and anxiety of trying to navigate it. While the intention of the line remains constant, the pieces are an ongoing search for how to balance the meandering lines in the work."
– KAT HUTTER
Her willingness to dig into what we can't see, the "between," as well as her awe at the power of the unknown "beyond" and its influence on who we are as humans, gives these paintings their depth. And it's her relationship with color, her respect for its power both in itself and over the viewer, that makes us feel welcome inside her world of big questions.
