Allison Katz: In the Studio
During her time as artist-in-residence in Somerset, Allison Katz sat down to talk about how surface materiality, wordplay and humor combine in her work.
Katz’s deeply personal work addresses the ways in which aesthetic practices link and absorb biography, art history, information systems and commodity culture. The artist’s diverse imagery, including cocks, cabbages, mouths, fairies, elevators, noses, waterways, and variations on her own name, appear as recurring symbols and icons which build an unending constellation of ideas and references. Images transmute across the media of painting, posters, ceramics and installations.
The artist’s first solo exhibition since joining the gallery in 2022, ‘Westward Ho!’ will open at Hauser & Wirth West Hollywood on 3 November 2023.
