Kate Van Houten is an American artist based in Paris who works in a wide variety of mediums. In her early paintings, Van Houten began with abstracts and landscapes using sewing thread and employed a variety of expressive methods including drawings and prints. After a series of powerful abstract paintings in blue and yellow, she broke new ground in the 1990s with stone sculptures. Van Houten’s sculptures, which are formed by “finding” the shape of stone, have a graceful, organic quality that evokes a sense of life despite their abstract nature. By using various mediums, Van Houten continues her endless exploration of nature and matter. Van Houten’s works, created in response to her own inspirations and diverse materials, resonate with each other in a single space and strongly represent her imagination and worldview.
