Artwork details

Artist: Catherine Howe
Title: Tantric Flowers #11
Description: While sheltering at home during the COVID pandemic Catherine Howe developed the "Tantric Flowers" series. Experimenting with monotypes without a press in her home studio, Howe found that Habotai silk rendered a finer and more detailed impression than paper. These monotypes on silk were mounted first to a thin kozo paper and then to a heavier white paper, in the manner of Chinese scrolls.

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.
