Katherine Jeans, "I am so glad I found you," nd

oil on canvas, 24" x 36"

Latitude Art Gallery is thrilled to introduce the phenomenal work by Ottawa based artist, Katherine Jeans! Katherine's interest lies in capturing the ephemeral moment of a moving image. Her unique style has movement, depth and transparency, which are historically connected to her vocabulary as a filmmaker. Her paintings are a personal selection of random freeze frames much like one would see in a dream or a moving picture.

Her work oscillates between painting and photorealism. She applies oil paint and mixed media in many different ways, pushing the boundaries of reality. Exploring many genres of painting has been a necessary evolution to sustain Katherine’s faith in art as one of the “highest forms of hope”.

"As an Existential thinker I search for universal beauty that can be observed in my art of what I feel is an existential moment. Through my career in film I have been conditioned to see the world at 24 frames a second. To freeze a moment ultimately challenges my notion of what is perfection. This collection of flowers and abstracts is part my continued search to find the ultimate moment of beauty. Flowers have a higher purpose in life and I hope to challenge the viewers thinking to look beyond a beautiful flower but to share with you an ephemeral moment that can never be repeated." - Katherine Jeans
