Kate Yesberg | Levi I - VII: {Suite} Ponsonby

{Suite} is pleased to present Kate Yesberg's new exhibition, Levi I - VII. 

This is Kate's fourth solo show at {Suite} and the first group of paintings in her new series, Levi.

The artist describes her Levi paintings as being too fresh to have cemented meaning; they exist in an in-between state, full of possibilities. "Maybe they feel like paintings in the darkness just before dawn, or paintings in the winter just before spring, like they're gathering and preparing for something new."

Moment to moment, Kate intuits the character of her work, painting ad lib, by hand, layer by layer atop a black canvas. The effect is striking geometric forms which from afar suggest hard lines and manicured edges, but up-close reveal the fluid nature of their making. Formally, in this new series, there is a notable shift in Kate’s palette with the addition of a deeper cobalt blue, enhanced contrast, and delicate motifs.
