Link to Work
Catherine Graham lives and works in the seaside town of Scarborough in North Yorkshire, England. Working in Acrylic on canvas, Catherine produces these wonderful abstract paintings inspired by her surrounding landscape. 'Through my work I explore the architecture of my surroundings. The canvas frame of reference allows me the ability to edit what I see into the horizontal and vertical. Therefore giving me the ability to idealise my surroundings through formalism. Interior spaces have cubic depth and play against the flatness of pattern through line. This play, also realised through colour and tone, provokes memory and association. I seek a universal language connected to spaces in which we have dreamed and imagined. Aspects of the interior are often metaphors for psychological processes
