Artist statement
Rooted in close observation and an idiosyncratic perspective, Katie Isaac’s hyperrealist oil paintings and intricate pen drawings explore how she processes and experiences her surroundings through the patterns, textures, colours and unusual viewpoints that capture her attention. Instinctively drawn to what might otherwise be overlooked or unseen, her work brings these details into sharp relief.
Biography
Katie Isaac began drawing and painting her environment as a child, using art to process what felt overwhelming into a language she could understand. Diagnosed with dyslexia and autism as a child, Katie describes experiencing her surroundings as though through a magnifying glass, often becoming absorbed by the details of the everyday.
After graduating with First Class Honours in Fine Art, Katie continues to develop her practice through painting and drawing, working both en plein air and from her studio in York.
