Exhibitions, Italy, Reggio Emilia, Reggio nell'Emilia, 13 March 2010
First Italian exhibition for the young Australian artist Kate McCarthy who showcases her latest works in Reggio Emilia at the boutique style gallery of CSArt (Via S. Pietro Martire, 16/A), from March 13rd until April 22nd 2010.
The exhibition, organized by CSArt - Communication for the Arts in collaboration with Retrospect Galleries (Byron Bay, Australia), presents ten recent works that capture the essence of childhood through simple shapes applied by brush and kidsR17; toys and bright colors.
"Chux Redux" represents a regression back into childhood, when the artist played with Care Bears and Monchhichis, hand-sewing creatures with Chux Wipes. To quote Chiara Serri's critical text, "Kate McCarthy paints trucks, caterpillars and birds through continuous combinations of circles, squares and triangles. Elements that, together with a painterly use of acrylic, revisits the charming essence of a child's painting, an unfiltered expression of the deep life of things".
The opening will be on Saturday, March 13rd at 17.00. The exhibition runs until April 22nd 2010.
Kate McCarthy (Born Brisbane, Australia, 1974) lives and works from her home on Tasmania's East Coast, near the Bay of Fires. She studied at Queensland College of Art, Victoria University and Curtin University, however without completion. She has exhibited her works in a lot of group and solo exhibitions, the latest of which are "Let's Playschool"(The Wall Exhibition Space, Hobart, 2009), "Petit Travaux"(Retrospect Galleries, Byron Bay, 2009),"Who Got the Bunny"(Gilligan Grant Gallery, Melbourne, 2010) and "Self"(Alchemix Studios, Brisbane, 2010).
