Information
Kate Sherman grew up on the Jurassic coast of Dorset. After graduating with a degree in Fine Art she continued her painting practice while working in the London art scene, before deciding in 2005 to paint full time. She lives and works in Sussex. The paintings, all oil on panel, originate from photographs she has taken of her surrounding landscape. This photographic source is important because the paintings capture a reflective notion of memory, of the emotional distance between a real landscape and a photograph, between experience and longing. It is a poignant and quiet melancholy reminiscent of Edward Hopper, that is expressed both by the portrayal of sparse unpopulated landscapes containing elemental traces of man, and by her restrained palette which is often suffused in a reserved northern European light of chalky blues and pink-blushed greys. Kate is represented by Cavaliero Finn.
