Kate Peel - Staged Drawing 5

*FRAME & MOUNT NOT INCLUDED.

Exploring psychological and cultural permutations of space guide the focus of Kate Peel's practice.
​​
When making work she thinks about how changing the context of space can relocate it into a new spectrum of reference.
Her work is deeply embedded in the appropriation of images and material. She see's this as a kind of recycling of possible meaning that touches on both the personal and the cultural.
​​
The work is influenced by popular culture and Pop Art and questions of representation while breaking things down and rebuilding them in a somewhat surreal vision.
​​
The work engages with drawing, printmaking and digital practices.

Peel's artwork captivates viewers with its intricate details and minimalist aesthetic, compelling them to pause and
contemplate instead of simply moving past. The artwork catches the attention and welcomes various interpretations,
creating a stunning contrast that promotes introspection. Peel's artistic approach centers around delving into the
psychological and cultural dimensions of space, considering how modifying its context can redefine its importance.
She incorporates the appropriation of images and materials, seeing it as a way to recycle potential meanings that
encompass both personal and cultural spheres.

With work recently exhibited in Miami Art Week and work exhibiting during the Venice Biennale 2026, Kate Peel is an emerging artist engaging in contemporary conversations about social justice, aesthetics and ongoing social processes regarding sustainability and environmental issues.

Drawing from popular detective and crime television these studies break TV down from moving image to still. Peel moves between drawing and tracing, both copying, embellishing and omitting to create sensitive drawings with a Pop Aesthetic sensibility, expressionist and minimalist approach to examine how we simultaneously perceive the world and project onto it.
