About the ArtistKate Bright was born in Suffolk in 1964 and now lives and works in London. She makes landscape paintings with the addition of glass, glitter, polystyrene and resin. These materials stand in for the phenomena that they represent in the real world: the froth on the crest of a wave, frosty snow on a mountain or the glint of sunlight on water. These materials used in the paintings refer to the natural without being of it, and underline the illusionary aspects of painting.
Aware of the history of the depiction of the subject she is concerned with making contemporary landscape paintings that refer to the land and our relation to it, our use and abuse of the great out doors. It is part of a British tradition. The chair design is taken from a series of paintings made in response to the reflections of Autumnal trees in Regent's Park.
