Add Review/Comment

Painter Katinka Hartmetz explores texture and color in her show titled On The Surface at The Main Gallery.

“In this show I wanted to do very large paintings where I could be exuberant in the movement of my paint brush,” Hartmetz said. “In some areas I just threw the paint on. It was very liberating.”
Flowing black lines capture areas of color and texture, she explained. Hartmetz also splattered and dripped paint to make the work “alive with activity.”

Hartmetz new works are a mixture of acrylic paint and collage of paper, photographs and tissue created on wood panels or canvas. The layering of these materials creates multiple surfaces, below and above “the surface.” The pieces range in size from 16” X 16” to 5’ X 10.’

“On The Surface,” runs concurrently with “Outside Inside,” showcasing new works by Marianne Lettieri. The two artists will host a reception at the gallery on Sunday, March 30 from 4 to 7 p.m.

    Katinka's works are all over my house and lend a sense of warmth and depth to my space.
