Kim Curtis at Kasia Kay Art Projects Gallery

Rarely do we have a pure visual experience. We are continually being disrupted in our viewing of even the most mundane things. Glare off reflective surfaces, people or things passing between us and the view - not to mention fleeting thoughts and noise - all act as interruptions to observation. Kim Curtis's process of painting capitalizes on this same kind of interference. Because we viewers are so adept at quickly reconstructing these relationships into something recognizable, her use of disruption paired with the courtship of abstract shape and color pattern over realistic reference helps to avoid literalism in her "landscapes."
