Artist Kat Evans Is February's Guest Exhibitor At Westport Book Shop

The following announcement is from Westport Book Sale Ventures, Inc.:

WESTPORT, CT — The Westport Book Shop is pleased to welcome artist Kat Evans as guest exhibitor for the month of February at the Book Shop’s Drew Friedman Art Place.

Kat is exhibiting three of her recent luminous Color Field paintings — a 48”x36” painting, and two 20”x20” collages of painted canvas cutouts affixed to a painted canvas base.

Kat’s vibrant, large-scale paintings are a celebration of the expressive possibilities of color. Inspired by Josef Albers and the Color Field Movement, Kat Evans creates vibrant paintings with luminous hues and raucous color. Using bold brush strokes and often collage effects, she explores the interplay of color and texture to evoke an emotional response in each composition. Her artwork has been shown in numerous juried solo and group exhibitions, and her paintings can be found in collections throughout the U.S., Europe, Japan and Mexico. Kat is a member of the Artists Collective of Westport, as well as the Rowayton Arts Center and the Ridgefield Guild of Artists.

Kat Evans’ artwork will be on exhibit at the Book Shop through February 28, 2023. All artwork on display is available for purchase.
