Kathy Stark: “Mostly White”
\nat Axel’s Gallery & Frame Shop in Waterbury
\nJanuary 9-February 17, 2018<\/h2>\n

In this white\/gray, cold time of the year, there is something warm and comforting to the “Mostly White” series of paintings by Kathy Stark. It may be the predictability of pattern, the subtle shifts of color or the delicate change in texture of collage that brings warmth to her palette and canvas.<\/p>\n

Kathy Stark, an artist represented by SOHO20 in New York, is continually in awe of the Vermont landscape and is personally visually drawn to the open fields with their great expanse of light, the feeling of air and spaciousness. When snow covers these fields with their gentle rolling surface, their glitter, their open expanse, shadows, and the abundance of subtle color speak to Kathy and ask to be painted.<\/p>\n

For this series of white paintings, Stark used a tool she fabricated to create a linear pattern and then the surface is built up with acrylic paint layer upon layer. Often the surface is further worked with pencil, ink, oil pastel, collage materials and scraping tools.<\/p>\n

Her work is intuitive the result of both planned and spontaneous actions. Each new body of work is an out-growth of previous paintings incorporating new ideas, thoughts, and experiences. She does not set out to create a series but rather she keeps addressing the thought until she is satisfied that the body of work completes that thought. This most often results in a series–and in this case, the “Mostly White” series.<\/p>\n
