Bau-Xi Gallery is thrilled to present Antidote, a stunning exhibition of new abstract paintings by Toronto-born artist Nicole Katsuras.
On her latest collection, Katsuras writes;
“Art is the antidote for our times. Personally, the act and the object can be a carrier of positivity, joy and light. These new paintings are a continuation of my ongoing study and experimentation with paint; focusing on the natural world but always synthesizing my inward reflections, personal memories, emotions, and history to create gravity free dreamland state, flora and intuitive landscapes.
Embracing the freedom and endless possibilities oil paint has to offer with my commitment to colour, texture, line and movement. I hope to create an antidote to life’s malaise."
The artist is renowned for her creative approach of embracing past traditions of art history while presenting her unique visual language in her paintings. Informed by the nuances of the oil medium and a cascade of visual stimuli, Katsuras paints a bold yet intricate extruded technique to compose lively, elegant and playful abstracted scenes.
Nicole Katsuras has exhibited her paintings internationally, with noted solo shows in Toronto, Vancouver, London, Seoul and Paris. Her artwork is part of several public collections and countless private collections across the globe.
