Yellow figurative/abstract mixed media painting

Katy Moran

  • 15 January — 8 March 2015 *on now

Parasol unit foundation for contemporary art is delighted to present a solo exhibition of paintings by the London-based painter Katy Moran.

Curated by Ziba Ardalan, Founder/Director of Parasol unit, this exhibition is Moran’s first major solo presentation in a public London institution and presents a survey of her work from the first ten years of her practice. The earlier paintings tend to be more loosely gestural with dynamic brushstrokes alive with painted energy and subtly rich colour. Later works, though more structured and detailed, often with added elements of collage, nonetheless abound with the ‘energy’ she demands of all her marks. Even within the modest scale of Moran’s paintings she achieves a remarkable concentration of energy that never fails to thrill viewers. Then there is the pleasure of seeking out the figurative imagery so tantalizingly hinted at in their intriguing titles.

This exhibition is accompanied by a full colour publication, printed in a limited edition of 500 copies & a limited edition print.
