Back to the Future Back To The Future by Kathrina Shine. Courthouse Arts Centre, Tinahely. A multidisciplinary artist based in Wicklow, Kathrina’s background is in architectural draughting/theatre/film and abstract/abstract realism paintings. Since 2011 she has mainly concentrated on painting. She works in acrylics, oils, inks, photographic collage with textures. The paintings are built, layer upon layer, the inks work less so. Textures include glass beads, lava sand, rice or small found objects. She works mainly with knives, but will use any object with a shape or an edge, that will make the right mark to balance the piece. What motivates her to paint in abstraction is a personal belief that pure realism is better captured in photography or film.
Art & pics – make ideal Christmas gifts
Her major themes are extrapolated from nature, poetry, politics, mythology, technology, human emotion or simply the joy of colour. She is perpetually researching something. She received a distinction in the Principals of Visual Structure from FETAC (QQI) /UCLA and realised those same principals apply to fine art, filmmaking, set design and architecture. She has always abstracted things, even when model making in architecture. Her buildings were always abstract with creative use of wire, wool, lightbulbs, anything that could be repurposed. Through her own journey, the artists she found herself drawn to are Yeats, Kusama, Kahlo, Miro as well as many others. n –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
