Katherine Bradford’s painting can be located in the tradition of abstract expressionism, particularly in colour field painting. During her very personal American Odyssey, she developed her very own style: interweaving abstraction and the figurative she creates very special bodies. The bodies’ faces often lack facial expressions.
