Title: Black Garden #15
Description: This large, unique monotype, made with acrylic paint and mica pigment, is printed on white Habotai silk. It is stretched on wood stretcher bars, which are faintly visible through the diaphanous silk fabric. The artist used mica pigments and chromatic black mixed from colors rather than black pigment, and subtle colors are visible within the image. The scale and execution of this sublime work blur the line between painting and printmaking. Framing is recommended for this piece.

The Artist

Catherine Howe

Catherine Howe (b. 1959, Buffalo, New York) is a New York–based painter whose lush, gestural works occupy the territory between representation and abstraction. Her paintings and monotypes combine fluid gestures, sensuous color, and experimental materials. Howe’s work, though it visually recalls 17th‑century still lifes, is ultimately about the material act of painting rather than depiction or narrative. What first appears to be flowers, figures, or food dissolves on closer inspection into swirling brushwork and layered color, so that recognizable motifs quickly give way to abstraction.
