With this body of work Katrin created @ her bustling studio in Paris, she took a new approach to some of her familiar concepts. Her ongoing play with the thickness and size of canvases continues with a brand new “lollipop” installation Ranging from 30 to 110cm diameter and 5 to 11cm thickness, the new and improved “lollipops” are installed and displayed on custom made plexi frame holders she created for this show.

Also, exciting news is that Katrin and her workshop developed a procedure that allows combining different techniques, which resulted in exclusive paintings that mix calm and liquid “leaking effect” style with expressive and splattering “Stendhal syndrome” effect.

Along with all these new original works, Katrin will be presenting a new series of hand painted prints titled “Bells Are Ringing”. By combining her familiar concepts and practices for this event, Katrin is opening new possibilities which she will further develop and expand through the works for upcoming events this year.
