More about the artwork

With their clear design and masterful technique, Katz’s paintings convey the impression of great ease, as if they had come into the world naturally. However, their creation process is much more complex. Katz’s large-format paintings on canvas usually evolve from smaller oil studies made on prepared hardboard. The sketch-like spontaneity of these studies gives them a particular aesthetic appeal.
