Exhibited: Houldsworth Fine Art, London, '"Pell Mell" Katie Pratt', 28 November 2002 – 11 January 2003, illustrated in colour in catalogue, page 2. Katie Pratt is an abstract painter based in London and a winner of the 2001 Jerwood Painting Prize. Her paintings often start from loose, unpredictable marks, which she gradually develops into more organised patterns and structures. She works with a mix of chance and planning, allowing each painting to develop its own rules as it progresses. The layered and sometimes conflicting forms reflect the complexity of how people and societies are organised.
