Katherine Benson

Katherine Benson’s small paintings hold the private theatre of domestic life. Women dress, rest, read and move through rooms that feel both familiar and slightly removed from time. Painted with tenderness, these interiors allow ordinary gestures to become charged. The scale draws us close, placing us inside moments that might otherwise pass unnoticed.

Artist statement

My practice focuses on the representation of the female form and the relationship between women and the domestic sphere. My small-scale compositions offer a glimpse into everyday moments of domestic life and aims to highlight the emotionality of daily simple tasks. Within these settings, I provide a safe space for my female figures, in which they can exist without a hypercritical gaze. In this way, my work can be read overall as a love letter to women – the women I have grown up with, the women artists I have admired, and the female relationships that have been so important to me.
