ABOUT ME
4me4you had the pleasure of visiting Rhodes Contemporary Gallery, where the works of artist Cat Spilman were on display.
MY PROCESS
Cat Spilman, a contemporary abstract artist hailing from New York, delves into themes of separation, belonging, modern feminism, and motherhood through her expressive and spontaneous creations.
"Separation, belonging, modern feminism and motherhood".
Drawing from her background as a Scenic Artist for film and television, Spilman primarily utilises house paint in her work, capitalising on its versatility and texture.
With a deliberate choice to limit her colour palette, Spilman allows the composition and energy of her pieces to take centre stage.
She eschews pre-planning, opting instead for a fluid and instinctual approach, where each brushstroke and pour onto the canvas is a spontaneous expression of her emotions.
Through her raw and cathartic creative process, Spilman embarks on a journey of self-discovery, using each artwork as a mirror to explore her own emotions and identity.
The result is not just abstract art but an intimate self-portrait, revealing layers of her innermost thoughts and feelings.
