Kate Burling
Kate Burling’s hazy finger-paintings mimic and violate organic structures derived from the sensitive body. Through exploring the impact of sharp externalities on a soft core, Burling alludes to narratives of biblical disaster, climate collapse and the rituals we might turn to in order to maintain sanctuary within our bodies. Using her hands and gloves as painting tools, the process becomes one of physical intimacy, oscillating between anxious scratching and tender caresses.
Kate Burling (b.1998, Reading) lives and works in South London. Since graduating from Camberwell College in 2022, she has completed residencies with Goodeye Projects, Pictorum Gallery and the Sandro Moretti Foundation in Umbria. In the last year she has exhibited at Milan Art Fair, Christie’s, Soup Gallery and Nosbaum Reding, and is currently presenting her third solo show ‘Softness as a Torrent’ at Ronchini, London.
