Pump House Gallery has commissioned new work by Scottish artist Katy Dove for her first solo show in England. Dove’s recent work has already received international critical acclaim and has been shown in a number of group shows nationally and internationally, including Venice Biennale, Tate Britain, The Drawing Room and Frieze Art Fair. Dove’s mesmerising kaleidoscopic animations investigate the complex relationship between perception, colour and sound. Much of her work takes the form of a visual and audio representation of an idea, emotion or perception using animation to reduce experience to its basic state. Brightly coloured amorphous shapes dance to the hypnotic music - dividing, multiplying and dissolving. Influences include the experimental filmmaker Len Lye as well as modern masters such as Wassily Kandinsky with his intuitive use of colour and Paul Klee who believed that a perfect geometry could be found in the natural world.
