Please join us for the opening reception of Tempo Giusto by Kato on Friday, September 18 from 6:00 - 8:00 PM.
In Tempo Giusto, Kato’s work engages in immersive observation of the concept of space as both method and disruption. Painting allows her to stretch or compress moments in time. In some of Kato’s work, she utilizes segmentation and spatial dislocation in order to resist traditional composition while preserving the essence of a known place. This mirrors how we often experience the world: in fragments, through repeated glances where nothing is fully clear. Similarly, memory retains shards rather than complete images.
Kato’s recent work combines realism and abstraction. Symbolic elements appear as traces of nostalgia, pointing to psychological and unorganized yet harmonious experiences. Tempo Giusto seeks the precise rhythm in which a moment forms and dissolves.
Kato was born in Ridder, Kazakhstan, and lived in Buenos Aires, Argentina, for over two decades before relocating to Arkansas, United States, seven years ago. Initially trained in translation, she discovered that painting and museum work better aligned with her creative interests. Kato works primarily in oil, developing compositions that explore careful observation, memory, and the interplay between realism and abstraction.
Gallery hours: Saturday, September 19, 10:00 - 1:00 PM.
