About the Exhibition: The Sky Above the Earth Below
Brenner and Filice share a profound connection in their work, demonstrating a mastery and innovative use of materials—often natural—and process-based materiality. Their art abstracts and bends the landscape, reflecting their dedicated studio practice that creates deeply personal and poetic expressions of self.

Katherine Filice: Nature-Inspired Art
Katherine Filice's studio, deep in the woods of Northern California, is where she finds her center and peace. The beauty and majesty of the trees, soil, and light inspire her work. Filice sometimes leaves her canvas outdoors to age in the elements. In this exhibition, she uses natural papers, inks, and found materials like twigs, wood, and soil from her surroundings. Her mastery of draughtsmanship maps the physical and metaphysical space, creating work that floats above the soil and earth, finding freedom in the suspension of disbelief. (more)

Katherine Filice’s Artwork to be Exhibited at the New Museum of Los Gatos

Los Gatos, CA — July 10 2024 – Katherine Filice is thrilled to announce that her artwork, A View from the Moon No. 3, will be featured in the upcoming "Boundaries" exhibition at the New Museum of Los Gatos. The exhibition runs from July 19, 2024, to Oct 6, 2024 and will showcase a diverse collection of works that challenge and explore the concept of boundaries in innovative ways.

As a multimedia abstract artist, Filice creates works that merge ink, sculpted paper, mica, found natural objects, oil painting, and drawing. Her work deeply investigates themes of spiritual boundaries, connections, and memories, both in her personal sphere and within the greater human collective. A View from the Moon No. 3 continues this exploration by offering a perspective that transcends earthly confines, prompting viewers to consider the infinite boundaries of the cosmos.

"The environment, particularly the whispering voices of the Northern California conifers, profoundly influences my work," says Filice. "Their stories, written in the bark, needles, and beetle trails, are woven into my art as I seek a transformative connection that breaks through spiritual boundaries."

Filice’s work is a collaboration with the natural world. She often incorporates bark, branches, and other organic elements into her pieces, even burying raw canvas for seasons to allow nature to mark it. Through this co-creation with the forest, her work transcends the material and breaches a spiritual boundary, intertwining human existence with a higher spiritual presence.

Katherine Filice’s "Echos In The Ether" on exhibition at the Triton Museum

Santa Clara, CA – April 2024 – Katherine Filice is proud to announce that her artwork, Echos In The Ether, will be featured in the "Salon at the Triton: A 2D Art Competition and Exhibition" at the Triton Museum of Art. The exhibition will run through September 8, 2024 showcasing a wide array of 2D artworks by talented artists.

Echos In The Ether is an ink on canvas piece, measuring 48” x 60”, gallery wrapped, and signed in verso. Created in 2023, this artwork continues Filice’s exploration of spiritual boundaries, connections, and memories, blending intricate details with a deep sense of introspection.

"My work often reflects the narratives of the environment, particularly the conifers of Northern California, which serve as timekeepers and storytellers of humanity," says Filice. "With Echos In The Ether, I delve into the concept of resonance—how memories and spiritual connections echo through time and space, creating ripples in the ether."

Filice’s artistic process involves a unique collaboration with the natural world, incorporating organic elements and allowing the environment to leave its mark on the canvas. This dialogue between human existence and a higher spiritual presence is central to her work, inviting viewers to engage in their own introspective journeys.

The "Salon at the Triton" exhibition presents an excellent opportunity to experience Filice’s thought-provoking piece alongside other remarkable 2D artworks.
