About Kathleen Greco
"Minimalist in concept, I am a visual artist informed by our living history exploring the human experience often exposing social, feminist, and political undercurrents. My interdisciplinary studio practice comprises contemporary works on paper, photography, and sculpture. Applying knowledge from my industrial design and illustration background, I pair relationships of diverse materials and methodical techniques to conceptual themes in my artwork letting them dictate the investigation including, graphite, charcoal, and flower petals.
Not limiting myself to one medium, I select materials and methods that respond to the ideas I am exploring that guide the outcome of my body of work. I use graphite and charcoal as primary mediums because carbon based materials are the basis of life and building blocks of humans. Choreographing relationships, conditions, and materials to engage and inform, similar to changes we experience in life, my work investigates themes of fragility, resilience, memory, and transition suggesting a bigger materiality lies underneath and within the surfaces."
