Artist Statement

 Kathryn Kampovsky creates layered paintings in oil and acrylic, using intentional and varied color palettes. With a focus on figurative painting, she explores her interest in the unconscious desire to prepare for an unpredictable world. In her work she aims to understand the ways that daily life, technology, and life events permeate the brain and body in ways that make the flesh inseparable from the outside world.
