Kathryn Van Steenhuyse: Raw Painting at the Iowa Hall Gallery

Come On In, acrylic and marker on canvas, 66"x59", 2012

I'm pleased to announce my current solo show at Kirkwood Community College's Iowa Hall Gallery! The show will be up through December 7th & features all new large-scale paintings as well as some drawings and smaller pieces. 

The pieces in this exhibition use painting as structure. The unstretched raw canvases warp and wrinkle based on how they are made—putting the process of becoming as much on display as the finished works. They balance between painting and sculpture in an effort to keep the viewer constantly questioning, thoughtfully present, and even possibly a bit uncomfortable.

The exhibit is on display in the Iowa Hall Gallery through December 7. Admission is free to the public. The gallery is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 2-4 p.m. and Tuesday and Thursday from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. and 3-5 p.m. A reception for Van Steenhuyse is on Thursday, December 6, at 11 a.m.
