Hidell Brooks Gallery in Charlotte, NC, Features Works by Katherine Ace
Hidell
Brooks Gallery in Charlotte, NC, is presenting the exhibit, Venus
Revealed/Forbidden Fruit, featuring works by Katherine Ace
through Oct. 29, 2005.
Ace was born in Chicago in 1953 and received
a BA from Knox College in Chicago. She moved to Portland, OR,
in 1992 where she established a permanent studio. Ace builds on
the painting legacies of the old masters to contemporary artists
in her multi-layered surfaces infused with painted imagery and
found objects.
Ace's influences are many and include: Arthur Dove, William Blake,
Balthus, Da Vinci, Magritte, E. Vigee Lebrun, and Dutch flower
painters. She has an ongoing fascination with both figurative
and still life painting in which she mirrors the seen and unseen
world through the exploration of extremities. Her work posits,
plays with and subverts realism, is deeply involved in contraries
and opposites, and has a feminist orientation.
Ace's clients ranged from Simon & Schuster's Great Composers textbook series, to graphic production on the first Motley Crew album. Her work hangs in private, corporate and public collections including the Art Center at Southern Oregon State University, Oregon State University Library, the Vintage Plaza Hotel in Portland, and Paragon Inc. in Seattle. Ace has participated in numerous regional and national group shows at museums, galleries, art centers, colleges and universities.
