ABOUT THE ARTWORK

As a contemporary visual artist, I still share a love of impressionism for the complex mixture of colors that from a distance, and then close-up, is a fascinating feast for the eyes. Additionally, this body of work uses the idea of abstract expressionism - I paint watercolors on a plasticized paper, then rip the paper into "small brushstrokes" as a way of an intuitive and "immediate" process of creating. I then intellectually arrange the "brushstrokes" as I would in direct painting. I want viewers to enjoy the 3-D layering of my "brushstrokes" onto archival watercolor paper. I began making art with watercolors and have now returned to the love of the transparencies and immediacy.

Link to my Wikitia Page: Link to short video about Cathy and her work: https://youtu.be/oI2STDFaReA Breslaw has been featured in over 37 solo exhibitions and has participated in over 50 group exhibitions across the U.S. in museums, art centers, college and university galleries and commercial galleries. She holds an MFA from Claremont Graduate University in Claremont, California where she received two Fellowships. Since the early 90's Breslaw has professionally exhibited while exploring the boundaries of painting and is continually experimenting with accessible commercial materials to create large format wall, floor, sculptural and installation works that engage concepts of light, space, and the interconnected and ephemeral nature of life. "Making art has been a continuous thread throughout my life. Punctuated by the joy and reverence I have for nature and a relentless curiosity about the world around me, my work combines painting, drawing and sculpture. Many of my ideas stem from research and reading about space and time as well as structural forms appearing in the natural world. I am especially drawn to transparent-like elements and have been primarily using industrial mesh and other commercial plastic materials to create my works. Layering and examining transparencies as they relate to light and shadow are central to my work. Color plays an integral role in enhancing the atmospheric transparency of the materials. The work, sharing forms of painting, sculpture and installation leads the viewer to take an intimate look at seemingly ordinary materials that because of what has been done to them, transcends their function."
