Catherine Detraves

Hello, I'm Catherine Détraves - a Paris-born artist now based in Los Angeles. As a self-taught artist, I initially explored forms through repeating patterns as large ink-on-paper doodles. Over time, I've transitioned to working primarily with acrylic on canvas.
My artistic vision centers around the interplay of geometrical elements, exploring the tension between restraint and chaos. By playing with repetitive shapes, I strive to create depth and movement in my work. I'm particularly interested in the discipline of lines and dots against an exuberance of color, and how the crispness of lines needs to be blurred or dirtied with color.
My studio is located in Los Angeles
