Kate carter uses her art to produce a portfolio of bold and colourful works, from acrylic paintings inspired by feminist art theory to empowering digital drawings used to create awareness of positive influences with remarkable stories on social media.
Whilst studying Fine Art at Birmingham School of Art, Kate developed her signature style, capturing the human form using the beauty of traditional drapery. Curious folds, dripping shapes and puddles of material pour over figures that appear to be missing, creating the illusion of a person perhaps the past has kept hidden.
Aiming to illustrate the exclusion of women in the history of art and their absence in some texts even today, I quite literally remove the bodies of female figures from my work. I explore the role of women as models versus their absence as artists in art history.
