Anna Kot is a painter who uses photography as the basis for her paintings. The photographs that she takes contain either structural patterns or tricks of perception, such as that obtained by photographing objects through reflective glass. These are then developed, through a series of drawings, into geometrical abstracts which she paints on canvas in both oil and acrylic. MW
“… I often work on paintings in series of 2 or 3, using the same photograph as the basis for each. From this point my intention is not to adhere rigorously to the image, moving away from the specific aspects of structure to incorporate content and mood because, just as the structure of verbal language is only one small part of communication, I want my paintings to incorporate a sense of the wider dialogue…”AK
