Katarina Forss
Katarina Forss studied at RA Schools, has been selected for New Contemporaries, exhibited in the first Anticipation show, Alexia Goethe, and Decima Gallery. Sourced from found photography, films, literature or dreams, the isolated moments in Katarina Forss’s paintings suppress farther-reaching tensions. Her solid colours – infused with a ghostly white light and confident, streaking brushwork describe seductive and enigmatic scenes, offset by the awkward interaction with their subjects. They are snapshots located between the real and the imagined, cut from a recognisable but unknown narrative and irresolvably stranded on her canvases. Her meticulously crafted work evokes scenes that are both delightfully enigmatic and hauntingly dislocated.
