Katy Moran at Parasol unit foundation for contemporary art Katy Moran’s solo exhibition at Parasol unit foundation for contemporary art is the artist’s first major solo show in a public institution in London and focuses on her first decade of artistic practice. Although her gestural and evocative paintings may appear to be abstract, Moran herself is invariably concerned with the figurative. For her, ideas arise out of the process of painting. She works with the paint, consciously and subconsciously preserving and rejecting marks until she considers their energy to be right. To lose attachment to any figurative referent that may have appeared too soon in the process, Moran will often turn a canvas and work on it from different perspectives, continuing to paint until every part of it works. In this way, she achieves a fluidity across the surface that looks as if it were always meant to be just so. Moran remains constantly alert to the unconscious opportunities of chance and time, which she tempers with conscious control, skill and knowledge to make paintings that are intensely and richly powerful. e-flux/announcements/katy-moran/
