Kate Paul | White on White

Kate Paul
White on White
Original minimalist abstract

White on White is one of the most formally demanding and philosophically rich works in Kate Paul's catalogue — a painting in which the gesture and the ground share the same colour, differentiated only by the texture and direction of the paint. The tradition of the white painting extends from Malevich's White on White (1918) through Robert Ryman's sustained investigation of white as a medium — a tradition that Paul enters with her own gestural language, making it expressive and physical where its predecessors were cool and theoretical.

The work requires and rewards sustained, careful looking — the initial impression of blankness giving way, as the eye adjusts, to a rich differentiation of surface and light that makes the painting endlessly engaging. For collectors in Berkshire, Surrey, and London who want a work that will hold their attention through years of sustained looking, White on White is among Paul's strongest achievements.

Available through Creed Gallery, Ascot.
