Kathaleen Bartha

"Growing up in Toronto during the 60s and 70s, the Brutalist architectural landscape and the Minimalist movement has deeply influenced my artistic journey.

My practice has evolved into a pursuit of simplicity and depth. From exploring Geometric Abstraction to focusing on line, volume, and space, my work reflects a quest for clear simplicity, devoid of narratives.

Echoing Mark Rothko's belief that art should possess its own reality rather than imitate the external world, I'm drawn to the essence of artistic expression.  Each creation, characterised by broad areas of colour and minimal brushwork, takes shape uniquely, as driven by my curiosity. I prioritise the elements over storytelling, inviting viewers to contemplate space, colour and form in a serene abstraction.

Guided by Minimalist principles and personal exploration, my art aims to inspire introspection for the observer."
