Kate Petley constructs abstract paintings by first creating dramatically lit sculptural arrangements that are photographed, printed, and selectively painted. She has been featured in thirty solo exhibitions and is represented by VonLintel Gallery in Los Angeles, Robischon Gallery in Denver, and Manneken Press in Bloomington, Illinois. Her work has been featured in publications such as Artforum+-IBk-s Must See, Lenscratch, L+-IBk-Oeil de la Photographie, and the Houston Chronicle. Slow Burn (2013) layers resin, film, and mixed media on aluminum to create a textured, dynamic surface with luminous depth. The square 22 by 22 inch format emphasizes the work+-IBk-s intense color contrasts and structural complexity. Petley+-IBk-s process results in a sense of controlled energy, suggesting heat, motion, and transformation. The piece is in very good condition, with a stable surface, strong visual impact, and no visible signs of deterioration.
