by Cathleen Grado
March 12th - April 10th, 2005


A solo exhibit of paintings and drawings, ranging in size from four inches up to six feet, executed in a variety of mediums on canvas, board, and salvaged surfaces. The pieces are influenced by a collective
interest in the world of science, abnormal history and culture, and are continually littered with images from an obsessive and personal iconography. From oil and acrylic paint to carbon paper transfers, watercolor, collage and ink, each piece is another link in the chain to an alternate and borderline idiosyncratic world; one of unnatural animals and landscapes, adaptations of mythologies, impressions of
childhood dreams, and curious behavior.


Cathleen has maintained a studio in Brooklyn since 2000 and this is her first solo gallery exhibit. In addition to her paintings and drawings she also works in photography and experimental non narrative film, often collaborating with musicians to create live audio performances in conjunction with multiple projections. Often she creates audio collages for these pieces, utilizing pre-recorded antiquated material along with new original music, and enjoys using old film and audio equipment so as to not be bound by the limitations of technology.
