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.
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.
