Katrina Russel-Adams

Katrina Russell-Adams is a South London artist known for her abstract two- and three-dimensional artworks featuring geometrical shapes and a refined colour palette. Her work explores the relationships between shapes, composition, and their graphical language - taking the form of murals, printmaking, assemblage, sculpture, and site-specific installation. More recently, she has become more interested in form and abstraction in relation to the human body - how we perceive and engage with sculptural installations.

Since her traumatic brain injury from a bicycle accident in 2020, which has left her with cognitive impairment and fatigue, Katrina has been concentrating on her studio practice which charters the journey of continuous rehabilitation, resulting in a new body of work.

Her projects begin as two dimensional; playing in the studio with screen printing which she sees as a three-dimensional thought process.

Building up her prints, the initial shapes are overlaid and the translucency of each layer creates more shapes, while negative spaces between them give way to new and interesting forms.

Her latest work is an interplay of two- and three-dimensional shapes, print, and relief works are juxtaposed with drawings and kinetic sculpture. With influences such as Barbara Hepworth, Ben Nicholson, Alexander Calder, Ellsworth Kelly.
