Artist Allison Katz: ”Painting is like a river flowing.”

”Painting is like a river flowing.” We visited Canadian painter Allison Katz in her London studio and spent the day exploring her work across several pieces simultaneously. “For me, painting is one of the few activities where one can experience multiple times simultaneously. So, there is a feeling that the surface of the painting can hold these different times: The present as it's being made; a past that I may not be so conscious of; and a future that I don't have actually to think about, but that is still there.”
