Kathryn Altus | Wide Angle
Harris Harvey Gallery is pleased to present “Wide Angle,” an exhibition of new paintings by Seattle-area artist Kathryn Altus. The artist notes, if the day is clear, the human eye is capable of seeing very far into the distance. Altus is drawn to a vast landscape, taking in miles of land and water. The scale sets up a dramatic metaphor between the natural surroundings and human experience. Working mostly from memory, Altus uses the grandeur of Northwest topography as a point of departure to create landscapes and seascapes with a sense of near-infinite space. These ethereal works are rendered in strong, minimalist shapes and a contemporary palette of unexpected colors. Altus’ compositions also make subtle nods to the wide expanses of history, whether natural, historical, or personal, that have shaped these places.
