ARTWORKS
Katharine Harvey’s 35-year artistic practice ranges from painting to installation and public art on a monumental scale. A bold and energetic palette characterizes all her multi-layered works. She combines the haptic presence of shimmering and glowing colours with complex and surprising elements that both obscure and reveal photorealistic details.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Katharine Harvey is a Canadian conceptual painter and multi-media artist based in Toronto. Throughout her career, she has switched naturally between mediums, allowing her paintings to inform her public artwork and vice versa. This process inspired Katharine to create a body of work that includes multi-layered acrylic paintings, recycled plastic installations, monumental public art, kinetic sculptures, and an illuminated drone show.
