Cathleen Grado
The Dollhaus Art Gallery, New York
Recent paintings and drawings. The pieces are influenced by a collective interest in the world of science, abnormal history and culture, and are continually littered with images from an obsessive and personal iconography.
Recent paintings and Drawings
A solo exhibit of paintings and drawings, ranging in
size from four inches up to six feet, executed in a
variety of mediums on canvas, board, and salvaged
surfaces. The pieces are influenced by a collective
interest in the world of science, abnormal history and
culture, and are continually littered with images from
an obsessive and personal iconography.
From oil and acrylic paint to carbon paper transfers,
watercolor, collage and ink, each piece is another
link in the chain to an alternate and borderline
idiosyncratic world; one of unnatural animals and
landscapes, adaptations of mythologies, impressions of
childhood dreams, and curious behavior.
Cathleen Grado has been painting and creating art since childhood,
she has never limited herself to artistic expression
in one medium, but the act of painting and drawing has
always been the core base of her continuous creative
output.
Cathleen maintains her studio in Brooklyn. This will be her first solo gallery exhibit. In addition to her paintings and drawings she also works
in photography and experimental non narrative film,
often collaborating with musicians to create live
audio performances in conjunction with multiple
projections. Often she creates audio collages for
these pieces utilizing pre-recorded antiquated
material along with new original music, and enjoys
using old film and audio equipment so as to not be
bound by the limitations of technology.
